OK - so show us a coin that has been graded 70 by NGC or PCGS and tell us why you think it is not a 70.
How much damage is enough to make ungradeable is subjective. That is because it depends - where is the damage located ? Is it in a prime focal...
You are correct. But then a coin does not have to be perfect to be worthy of the 70 grade - in either MS or PF. And that is the point that nobody...
The pictures he has are sufficient. The coin is simply not a Proof - no way no how.

Copper is the most reactive, well except maybe the manganese in the dollar coins, of our coinage metals. So the least little thing causes it to...
I really don't think those are die cracks. In fact, I can't even see anything at the spots you have indicated. If you are seing raised material in...
No, but they were in North America, as stated. And they were discovered in 1792.
Not exactly. Tap water has all sorts of stuff in it and it can even make your coins look worse. If you are going to use water at all, use...
I warned ya.
