As soon as I get the coin back, I'll post it in this thread. Quote: That's the ID number PCGS uses for that specific type, so 819301 corresponds to the 2020-W V75 ASE in DCAM, 819302 is the same thing but for first strikes, and so on. The picture on that page is not of your coin. Oh, I see. Well then, I guess they use it to help illustrate the coin they just finished grading. In either case. I'm Happy about it and will post up a pic when I can. Quote: And you need a professional TPGrader to tell the difference. I know for sure that I won't be able to tell the difference with a screen shot, I will have to read the slab label. That is true. I think that the difference from a 69 to a 70 is the magnification. they go way deep up to Mag x5 I think to grade it for a 70 (if it passes) Edited for bad spelling and overall terrible typing..

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 08:33 am As I understand it, the industry standard for TPGraders is hand held, in ideal lighting conditions, examined with a 10X loupe. The standard for us is on screen, with variable and sometimes questionable photography, with the coin under the veil of clear plastic. This is also the standard that sellers have to cope with for slabbed coins on ebay. You just have to trust the slab grading, which after all is said and done, is just an opinion.. That is why I like to grade my own coins, hand held, in ideal lighting conditions, examined with a 10X loupe, and just forget about having them slabbed. If I get my coins wrong, I have nobody to blame except myself. Report this Post to the Staff

I plan to send back the PR69 to see if I can get an upgrade to a 70. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:12 pm Now that the U.S. Mint can strike PR70 DCAM on a common and regular basis, what we need now is a new grading level:- MS-80 and PR-80 DCAM. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:39 pm Well lets not get that crazy yet... Lets start with MS/PR-71 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 10:38 am I had similar thoughts whether 70 is high enough or whether there should be a distinct grading system for proofs. Is a 70 grade too easy to get these days? I was looking at a Silver Eagle MS 70 on PCGS and NGC and there were hundreds at that grade (I forget the year and mint). The confusing thing was that the specific coin I was verifying had the tag "none higher" on the website. Aren't all the hundreds graded 70 also worthy of "none higher" / "top pop"? If some MS or PR70's are not equal maybe they are not really worth a 70? Maybe if there are too many 70s then that grade is becoming too diluted and eventually meaningless? Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff

As I understand it, a 70 is already essentially perfect under 10x magnification. I don't think there's much room for improvement. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 10:56 am Well for me, it was a 50/50 chance. I turned in 2 ASE v75 privy ASE coins, only one came back as a 70.. Collecting since 1972.
