Coin Grading higher standards in old days?
Here the coin that was graded MS-63 (Barely) and 20 years later graded MS-65/66 my PCGS. Was the original grader (20 years ago) too harsh or are the current graders too soft? You be the judge on this coin...

Re: Coin Grading higher standards in old days?
At a glance I would grade this coin MS63 with a shot at 64 pending better images. I see contact marks on the cheek and it is a late die state with obvious die striation marks, and that takes a point off for me.
Re: Coin Grading higher standards in old days?
Thanks Daniel! Good eye on the polished banks causing the die striation marks.

Re: Coin Grading higher standards in old days?
No polishing of blanks at all but metal flow from the warping of the die surface from striking many coins.
Re: Coin Grading higher standards in old days?
So the later dates you have to get the first few batches which isn't easy I am sure. Once again thanks for educating me.
