<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3959025, member: 76863"]You're making the assumption that there is a hard science everyone must agree grade when they're aren't. Even the best graders in the world and best series experts disagree on grades. XF and lower is pretty easy and straight forward but AU and up especially in MS there's room for debate. There's certainly incorrect grades that can be given though when they're too far off. </p><p><br /></p><p>They're graded just as correctly today as they were graded 20 years ago, or 40 years ago, or hundreds of years ago. Coins are always graded at the time to their contemporary standards. It doesn't really matter if today isn't "correct" according to 40 years ago as it isn't 40 years ago anymore, it's up to each person to keep current with the current standard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
