Maybe the grading standards will slip again as the years go by.
When I was a kid collecting coins in the early '60s, I can remember the grading standards being a full grade different from today. Dealers used B&D coin grading standards then. Today's MS60 to MS62 coins were called sliders and graded as AUs in those days. In those days, an EF coin looked much like the AUs of today. They had at least 50% lustre with only slight wear on the very highest points. VF coins were much like the EFs of today.
Coin prices were cheap in those days. I guess that allowed coin dealers to be very giving on coin grading. |
