Coconutjoe Pillar of the Community United States 1475 Posts	Posted 01/02/2018 9:37 pm I just can't fathom someone sitting at PCGS & NGC looking at hundreds of fresh minted coins to see if they are MS/PR70 or 69... Their eyes must roll after couple of hours Report this Post to the Staff

We have had this discussion a few times before, but I cannot tell a 69 from a 70. I often wonder if this is the case for most graders and they are not just randomly giving out 70s at some predetermined ratio.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 01:37 am MS/PF-70's don't exist. An imperfect process cannot produce a perfect product. I would still like to have a slabbed MS/PF-70 Jeff, though.

It's hard for people to separate out actual perfection (which is impossible in anything) and a perfect grade. They are two different things Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 08:25 am I changed my view of the 70 designation a while ago. For me it means the coin is as good as it gets based on the overall process that it was produced in and because of this MS70 and PR/PF70 are very different when it comes to the amount and severity of vey minor imperfections. There is no such animal as a perfect coin and if 70 meant absolutely perfect there should be none graded as such. Report this Post to the Staff
