I have read a lot of posts saying grades of 69 and 70 are easy to get these days and that grading is getting lax

I say that you can make that argument stick when you see the TPG `s start churning out ms 67 and 68 morgans.

Also there still has not ever been a ms coin from mint sets grade at 70 .

Otherwise , cant it just be that minting techniques are better than ever and so is coin quality.
Or , a 69 or 70 represents near perfect or perfect example of that years run. Either way there is a standard to be held to. AND so many coins are over $100 these days and I am as much an investor as collector.

I just want the slabs to end the labeling frenzy I do not care if the coin is minted day 1 or 1001 the numeric grade is all that matters the coin is the coin.
I see idiots on e-bay paying 1500 bucks for 2006 w 20th anniversary set coins - the fact is all those 2006 w silver eagles were made in a run and then some were picked out to fill the sets. The labels make one think the coins were run specifically for that set of 250,000 or 30,000 if you got one with a gold coin.
450.000 or so 2006w silver eagles were minted and I am sure it was all in one run each coin equal to the others minus wear on the dies. I cant believe people are paying $1500 for a coin I got for $157.00

crazy
Rest in Peace

Anything goes on ebay and they are loving it....making tons of money off fees. I can slab a rock, put MS66 on it, and someone would buy it.
