[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 1505404, member: 6763"]imrich: Agreed, and there are many, many instances of grading changes. I was going to quote some of your comments, but got tired. Back, oh 100 years ago, in the early to mid 1970's a coin was either unc or 'really nice'. Then we had Unc, choice and gem. Later we advanced to MS 60, MS 63 and then MS 65. There were no others. Later we moved forward to MS 60 etc. Then we changed the ideas of which was needed for each grade, many MS 63's became 62's, MS-65's became MS-63, and so on. Then, we refined it further to the point where many coins could be upgraded. Times change, grading changes. Heck back then it was either unc or not, just AU, no AU-50, AU-53, AU-55, and AU-58, and there wasn't a difference in price for any of them. Following up on your 'full head' even that has changed, in the past a full ear was required, but (I think) no longer. Just AU or a really nice AU.[/QUOTE]
