What it might grade the next time depends a lot on how good the coffee is in the office is that day. Since they deliberately do not use any verifiable standards to grade with, unlike a lot of people seem to think, the ink on the label is not set in stone.
Why are no verifiable standards used? This way they get paid more than once to grade the same coin as many times as someone wants to break it out and pay them to give it a grade. PCGS, in the 90s, said they had a computerized system they said would give one true grade. But very soon they abandoned it . They had advertised the new system necessary because it eliminated human error inherent to subjective grading. Yet they returned to what they called the flawed system of using human graders. Thus the huge profits from people re-submitting coins was not lost, and the companies retain that inferior system (as they called it!) to this day...a full quarter century after they abandoned using a verifiable standard. But they have made a lot of money off of collectors!
