Anyone ever seen a MS70 Cent?

I've never seen a US penny (cent) certified ms 70 by the leading graders, has anyone else?

Yes, the 2003 MS-70 cent from PCGS (Since downgraded) As far as I know there are no existing MS-70 cents (except those treated with MS70)

 

Someone on CT once posted a pic of a certified Satin 70, forgot who it was. But, a Satin is not technically an MS, it's a low mintage, almost matte proof.

 

That coin really had a crazy history. I don't know of any others graded MS-70.

I do not understand why satins are counted as MS, but that is where PCGS and NGC both list them. That means that there are at least 40 by PCGS.

• 2005 SP70RD 18
• 2005-D SP70RD 2
• 2006 SP70RD 20

 

Do you have links that show this. Someone posted awhile ago that they classified the Satins as proof, but I didn't check.

 

Just look at the 2005 and on; http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=72051

 

Every SGS, NGSC coin is graded MS/PR-70 regardless of the denomination.

 

sgs, ngsc are not top grading companies sgs is a bunch o frauds.. ngsc ???who?? never heard of them.. there mass slabbing companies to turn a profit...chuck out ms 70's and pf70's to make money.. read up and studying is key..

 

I have never seen a perfect 70, and I never will. Some may say 70, but they're not flawless. Look hard enough and you'll find the tiniest imperfection that keeps it from a 70...

 

Are you referring to MS, SP, or both?

 

I've got a couple solid MS-69 '88-D's and an '89-D that are close enough to 70 to call them possibilities.

There are a lot of really high grade zincolns.

All three of these coins are highly proof like by the way.

 

BTW in the thread im looking for just ms not SP

 

At this point you are back to zero known.

 

Zero know from NGC and PCGS. I am sure there are lots known form SGS, NNC, NEC, etc. There might even be some by ANACS and ICG.

 

The timing matches up perfectly to what?
