No, I wasn't implying that at all. Merely pointing out that with some series PCGS is no longer stingy with the 70 grade like they used to be.

They used the excuse of milk spots as the reason they wouldn't grade ASE's as 70s for years. Then they finally gave that up. And when people started asking them about other coins and what their reason was for them, the light bulb seemed to go on and they started grading them as 70s too.

Who knows, maybe they finally just got tired of people like me explaining to folks that there was more to PCGS's reluctance to assign the 70 grade than met the eye.
