Major TPG says this is proof 70. Every 69 I have looks better than this picture, however I am far from an expert, so in comes the poll. Thanks in advance for playing.
Could have developed the spots after being slabbed but i really dont know? I think spots on proof 70 coins have been discussed before?
It will probably grade as 69, but it could be a 70--that can't be determined by the naked eye. One needs magnification--at least, I do.
Wow, I thought that would be a hands-down vote for 69 - I'm very surprised. I think I'll just stick to my 69s, with no spots. Thanks all!
Sometimes I think they just call them all 69s, and then let every 'x' number get a 70. Or maybe they flip a coin now and again to see which get 70s. That is not an attractive coin at all. It might look better in hand, but I see slight flaws on it that I would have thought would have kept it from a 70 grade. :shrug:
Me either. Maybe the grader was a Star-Trek fan - it looks like Ike is out in the Milky Way somewhere...
