[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2088631, member: 73489"]I agree with your point but in this case the "inflation" at least has something visible. We can debate whether or not twin MSDs that are exactly alike 20 years ago each get an MS-64...and today, because one of them turned with beautiful rainbow colors it gets an MS-66. [B][COLOR=#00b300]The TPGs and collectors say YES. You and I seem to be saying NO.[/COLOR][/B] [B]My point is, at least that's a visible reason for the upgrade.[/B] Better than the MSD or Saint is graded an MS-64 by NGC in 2004....guy cracks out coin and resubmits to PCGS and gets MS-64 again....waits a few years, sends to NGC and it's now MS-65...waits a few more years, submits to PCGS and now it's MS-66. THAT I would have a problem with, assuming the original graders of MS-64 weren't all drunk when they graded the coin and it was graded too low.:D[/QUOTE]
