<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 3276682, member: 31533&quot;]It somewhat makes it difficult for a regular person to grade a variety of coins at the MS levels. For most, learning to grade up to MS 60 Is a bit easier in it&#039;s own way. Expertise in any subject has it&#039;s own learning curves. In some ways this is why people who collect MS70 vs MS68 or 69 are being silly (in a way) because the differences in a MS68 or 69 or 70 are very little. All must have full luster and all must be perfect, really:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;</p><p>MS70: No imperfectons under high magnification. A perfect coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS69: Any imperfection, hairlines, etc, are virtually undetectable under magnification. Finding business strike U.S. coins graded this high is rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS68: An very prominent, well defined strike. Full mint luster. Outstanding eye appeal. No visible marks of any nature are present on the coins primary surfaces under average magnification power. A coin with outstanding surface quality.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, different coins are given laxer standards at times, based sometimes on rarity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
