dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 12/23/2015 1:41 pm Yeah, I agree as well. Anything above MS66 is an amazing find if it came out of a mint bag. It would not surprise me in the least if some examples made it to certain collectors fresh off the press. Report this Post to the Staff
cameo92 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 12/23/2015 5:01 pm Yes, that's true. There probably weren't many coin collectors back then, so there weren't a lot that were carefully set aside. I'm not sure if I've seen ms 69s yet, but I have seen 68s, and it seemed like it was a justified grade. Occasionally PCGS and NGC might overgrade, but I think it's very rare...

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 12/23/2015 6:13 pm It is HIGHLY doubtful they would overgrade.

jbuck Moderator United States 197031 Posts	Posted 12/26/2015 12:14 am If anything, the Eisenhower dollars were handled worse.. I would have loved to see a proof 2015 Eisenhower dollar issued for the C&C set, even if it were only Cu-Ni clad. Just imagine how amazing it would look using today's minting process.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 12/26/2015 12:24 am Just to put monkey in the works. What about a proof 70 morgan was that even possible. I'm guessing if anything had a shot in th 19th century to grade 70 today would be a proof if anything Report this Post to the Staff
