I would like to see someone post an MS69 side by side with same issue that garnered an MS70. I've looked and looked at MS69 examples and I can't for the life of me figure out what kept it from being an MS70. When I'd ask my wife where something was in the fridge or a cabinet, she would frequently respond by saying, "It's right in front of you. You must be blind." Probably she's right, and that's why Ican't discern the difference.

You can also resubmit an ms69 and it may come back an ms70 or stay ms69. I have lots of MS69 that I see nothing wrong with them.

If there is a subtle difference, it would probably have to be viewed in hand, not just with photos.

With frosted proofs, look at the coin at 5x mag and look for tiny breaks in the frosting.

I have one MS-70 coin. I have no idea why it is was graded MS-70 while others are not. I only bought it because it was too good a deal to pass.  |

Im still kind of new to this stuff but last week I was looking at 2 cac graded [holder not sticker] 70 eagles and both had issues. I'm no professional but anyone can see when a coin is clearly not a 70.
I cant be the only one to have come across this... since like I said I haven't been doing this for long.

Well the first example clearly states that it is something wong with it.... sorry couldny help myself  tbh I just think they spot some minor imperfection. Mostly new collectorcoins get these grades, so in order to validate themself they must grade some of them lower..... Edited by Moniker
