This is exactly what I've been trying to tell him. Since there is a limit and a line drawn there is no reason to believe something can't be a 70....
Excellent point. The Jackson spouse is a perfect example of a 69. It's perfect other than the little speck on the front. And maybe the top...
Really? This is way too extreme. Maybe I don't want to be an expert or have vast knowledge on every single type of coin that exists. That...
No, it's ok. I know they're dirt cheap scales in comparison with the other high grade scales. But, I just gave you an example that you can...
If you have something to sell, you are the dealer on ebay. People will gladly pay.
Hi Charlie. Once you have 10 posts on cointalk, you can use the 'Open' forum all the way at the bottom on the home page. You can list what you...
There's no way to lift these by the pan. They're a pocket scale. I know there are more accurate scales. But I am shocked at how good these are...
No way these are off by 1 gram. As I said, I calibrate with the two 50 gram bars every time. I also happen to have some test weights for...
So you feel the scale should end at 69 saying there are no damage or wear free coins in existence? It just doesn't seem like that outrageous of...
It has to end somewhere. The scale ends. 70 is the end. Theoretically, there's no way for the coin to be anymore perfect in any aspect. There...
This analogy doesn't work. For one thing, drug stores make errors all the time and nothing happens. And then you are comparing an accuracy which...
All I ask is what is the definition of 'perfect'? A proof coin at 10 ft away looks perfect. A little closer it may still look perfect. Up...
Has someone tested this theory on a large scale? How could it be proven that nothing happened in transit? Too many variables. It's just like...
This is a good argument in itself. But really, it just matters to what microscopic of a level do you want to take it down to? If they're grading...
Grades are not just numbers. They give you order. This hobby along with some others, needs grades to assign appropriate prices. I don't see any...
Well, I disagree. You have to admit that there has to be a top to the scale. Right now, there are better condition coins than 69s so the 70 is...
Man, take a look at the national debt curve. In comparison, we were actually in fantastic shape through the 60s,70s and 80s. It could still...
In the 6th edition of ANA grading standards it states that MS-70 is a "flawless coin exactly as it was minted, with *no trace* of wear or injury....
This question is so insane it is laughable. "They" just got done printing off another 700 billion worth of new money, in addition to what they're...
Hence the drop in gas and precious metals. Your dollar purchases more silver again! $9-$10 range. It didn't go down, the dollar's purchasing...
