The grades came out as (PR69DCAM - PR70DCAM): 1c: 100 - 100 5c: 145 - 55 10c: 50 - 150 25c: 116 - 84 50c: 135 - 65 All: 546 - 454 So, 54.6% were graded as 69s and 45.4% were graded as 70s. What do you think about the grading percentages? Typical or not? Report this Post to the Staff

Only having 70s graded is one of the things that makes the percentage look a lot higher than it really is, these results are probably more in the range of what they really are.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 11:02 pm Totaling the figures and then giving overall percentages is probably a bit misleading. It's better to look at each series individually. For example a Jefferson nickel is three times as likely to be a proof 69 than a proof 70, but the dime is three times as likely to be a proof 70 than a proof 69. If you're looking for proof 70 coins it's going to be much easier to find a cent or dime than to find a Jefferson nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

I was thinking that the nickel and half dollar percentages were more typical of the split and that the other three were actually high in the number of 70s graded. To me, the dimes, in particular, looked way high for a non-special issue type of coin. It's a small sample size, but it's even a bit unusual to be able to determine these stats. So, I was wondering what folks thought about them. Edited by BadDog 03/02/2018 06:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
