I personally never see the point of grading a bullion version (non-proof, special version, etc) of an ASE. Usually at best, get your money back. That said, the wings on the reverse make me question if it'll grade 70. |

Please understand that the coin you've shown did not come from the Mint in such a holder - it was inserted into the holder after it left the Mint. The chances of it grading MS-70 are rather low, and any other grade would not justify the cost of having it graded by a leading/reputable third-party grading service (e.g., PCGS, NGC).
Just my opinion (re: grade not the holder backstory), others may disagree.

I agree that this has virtually no chance at a 70 even if it is perfect

I understand it hasn't been opened, but someone handled it after it was minted.
There's no chance this will grade 70.

You people clearly haven't viewed the coins that have received a 70 grade because I assure you theres maybe 5 total I saw that are as nice as mine so you can be negative all you want . There's is not a speck on mine no scratches no milk spots no oxidation nothing so how it wouldn't get a 70 especially seeing the others that have , is beyond me . Go to heritage auctions and view all of the coins that have sold and that have been graded 70 and then tell me about how mine won't get a 70 grade. I'll wait .

@Oheyitsmikeb: You came to CCF with a question and a request for opinions on your coin. When you didn't get the response you desired, you attacked the messengers. I don't understand. Please prove us all wrong. Submit the ASE to PCGS and report back on the results. We'll be waiting! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

It's a bullion ASE, it's been around. I doubt it will make it to MS68, but that's my opinion. I think you should send it in , since PCGS is considered the best send it to PCGS and I recommend you do next day. You know that's it's a 70 so the extra cost is worth it. |

 Have you looked at it under magnification of at least 4x? That is the level that PCGS will go under a microscope to grade a coin. |

The best way to learn is to submit and get grade by either PCGS, NGC, or ANACS.

I too say send it in for grading. I'm very curious as to the results. Please let us know!

Personally I don't buy into all the hype over so called "Perfect MS-70" coins. I doubt that anything can be perfect. I would much rather purchase someones disappointing MS-69 at a significantly lower cost and enjoy the savings for another coin purchase. Always buy the coin and not the label.
