<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2085804, member: 19165&quot;]The standards at PCGS and NGC have been fairly consistent throughout their entire existence. There was no &quot;flood of inexperienced graders&quot; - and that&#039;s the reason that these 2 have stayed on top. You can take a sampling of coins graded in any era, and you&#039;ll find a few that are undergraded, a few that are overgraded, a few with problems, but the majority of them will be accurate. There are certain eras that have a reputation for being more strict - and while that may have been true a while ago, I would argue that the majority of the undergraded coins in these slabs have already been upgraded if possible. That&#039;s a lot of money left sitting on the table, and you have to wager that in the 25 years since then, someone has tried if they thought there was a chance. For that reason, I feel like some of these slabs (like the infamous Old Green Holder) now actually have a higher percentage of *overgraded* coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
