    Not in the least. I would love to see a 1920s or 30s coin (or even older) graded 69. This thought came to me when I saw a 1600s or 1700s Thaler or some similar coin that was 64 or 65, I think.

    Interesting question. I do not own an MS69. Period. I’ve got some PR69s but that’s not what we’re after.

    I have not had this one graded/ but it came from Kunker Auction as a "Stempelglanz" example/ Kunker only rates MS-67 as FDC/Stempelglanz.
    Mine is a flawless AV 3 Zecchini 1781 from Florenz Mint/ Tuscany

    I've never had an older MS68 or MS69 coin. Most of my modern stuff (where I've had 68- or 69-graded coins) has been proofs, so PR68 or PR69 (and usually DCAM), but I realize that doesn't count.

    For numerically-graded, TPG certified coins in MS, not proof, I think this 1866 German States/Hesse-Darmstadt kreuzer, PCGS MS67+, is the highest grade I've earned and owned on a non-modern coin, and my earliest "supergrade" coin owned to date.

    As of this post, it remains the highest graded at PCGS, and is probably the finest at either service (I haven't checked the NGC pops).

    It used to be in an NGC MS67 holder. I cracked it and sent it to PCGS and gained the "plus" (+).

    So it became PCGS MS67+ as seen above; in other words a slight upgrade.

    I sold it a few years ago, but enjoyed owning it for a little while. It was a nice buy for me when I originally got it for less than a hundred bucks in the NGC holder.

    Below is the "before" picture in the earlier NGC slab. Though not technically a proof, it was very prooflike.
