<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2016427, member: 15309&quot;]The topic of gradeflation seems to be something that we just can&#039;t stop discussing on this forum.&nbsp; Since so many people think that gradeflation is so rampant, it occurs to me that it should be easy to find examples where the grade of a coin has increased over the last 25 years.&nbsp; Please post you examples of gradeflation and we can discuss the reasons for the increased grade.&nbsp; I will start with a 1945-D Jefferson Nickel NGC MS65 that resided in an old fatty NGC slab.&nbsp; I cracked the coin out and resubmitted it because I knew that it had 5 full steps and I was hoping for a star designation.&nbsp; Here are the before and after photos:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JN1945-DNGCMS65.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%204%20Sale/JN1945-DNGCMS675FS_zpsbb8d7ae5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Why do you think NGC thought this coin deserved a grade of MS65 in the early 90&#039;s but a grade of MS67 in 2013?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
