I was wondering if anyone thinks that PCGS are grading Perth Mint Pre-Decimal copper coins easier than they used to several years back? I know that two copper coins from the Borg collection have regraded a point higher than they originally did. The 1962 Perth Halfpenny from the Borg collection went from a MS65RD to a MS66RD and the 1953 Perth Penny from the Borg collection went from a MS64RB to a MS65RB.
Yes,possible but there has always been doubtful gradings from the PCGS 'Australian desk' although a bit more consistant the last decade or so.
