<p>[QUOTE="Greyford, post: 418540, member: 15150"]That coin tends to run between 40 and 55 ungraded and in mint packaging. It is very collectible with veterans and is given as a gift alot to veterans.

[QUOTE="Greyford, post: 418540, member: 15150"]That coin tends to run between 40 and 55 ungraded and in mint packaging. It is very collectible with veterans and is given as a gift alot to veterans. I don't have access to PCGS population numbers so I can't tell for sure but there might be low numbers in MS70. Unless you are building a MS70 modern commem collection that you are going to post on websites and be ranked with other collectors (sorry I'm not into this so I don't know what it's called) you don't need MS70. Really you don't :p. The noticeable difference between MS68 and MS70 is so small that unless you look at the coin under 10X magnification you won't see a difference. I collect all my modern commems (This is my major focus right now, I have more than half of them) in raw condition.
