    It appears to be promoted by the shysters. Look what happened to higher grade common Morgans in the 1980's - sold to the unknowing by basement based telemarketers - eventually the market collapsed. The same is happening today with the aid of the TPG'ers and their "registry sets" and lax grading standards. They've created a market where none existed, a market for high grade common coins. Most old timers don't believe this market will last, as the underlying most important factor is missing, that of low mintage, which causes a coin to be valuable regardless of grade. Now, a higher grade coin will always command some premium, but that premium, before all the hype and promotion, was always minimal for a high mintage coin. If history repeats, the first signs of the collapse will be tightening grading standards. Overnight your ms70’s will be 69’s or 68’s and worth only a fraction of what you paid. Then the snowball effect takes over, burnt “collectors” exit the market in mass, causing further declines in value.

    but whom will they sell it to? there won't be any buyers around for these "RARE" MS68-70 coins. :rolleyes: don't forget this is a one way street...the seller don't wanna see these coins again.

    Exactly, the price should plummet, as there will be no (few) buyers.

    I see the blame for all of this nonsense being laid squarely at the feet of the TPG'ers. First, they stated they would NEVER grade coins past 1964, but were busy making false rarities of coins minted in the mid 1900's. Then when that was fulfilled, they started grading modern coins but would NEVER grade a coin MS70. Then when that false scarcity was fulfilled they started grading modern coins MS70 to try to drive further submissions. Now its "registry sets" just like playing a video game, and slabbing coins from countries, (not using accepted grade scales btw) where local collectors do not want them.

    Never ending game trying to make a buck. Meanwhile, they twist, distort our hobby and get tens of thousands of people burned so bad they leave numismatics forever. I know I am down on TPG'ers, but is any of that wrong?

    I wonder how many coins this seller turned in for grading. He's probably a large submitter of coins and bets he can recoup his money plus make a profit. What's the grading fee for 50 modern coins? $10 each would equal $500. How much does he expect these coins to be worth. To me, it seems to be a big gamble to take.

    not to get argumentative but it is appears to be pretty uncommon thing to get that coin in that condition.
