XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 12/06/2016 7:24 pm In my personal experience submitting mint products to TPG's, the best results come from submitting unopened mint boxes of coins. Anytime you handle a coin, even with the utmost care, the odds that a tiny little tick mark will appear on the surface keeping it from a MS70 increase. Note for a MS70 coin, the coin has to be flawless under 5X magnification. So just because there are no defects visible to the naked eye doesn't mean that it makes MS70. Report this Post to the Staff

Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 12/06/2016 11:18 pm I agree with trout. If I saw the coin in hand I still wouldn't be able to tell you the difference between a 69 and a 70 in most cases. Report this Post to the Staff
