<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MKent, post: 1900298, member: 33625&quot;]I agree with you. If you can&#039;t tell that big a difference then save the money. On the other hand if you&#039;re wanting to collect just say State Quarters in silver proof then I could see going with all PR70 coins rather than PR69 just to say they all graded perfect. Myself I don&#039;t collect series or sets of graded coins I only buy what I like, what catches my eye and what I can afford. I don&#039;t have any 70&#039;s not to say I never will some are reasonable, but to me the 69 is a beautiful piece and usually at 1/3 the money if you shop around. I&#039;m not big on owning TPG slabbed coins unless it;s something I want to be sure of as far as being genuine. I have bought PCGS PR69 coins on eBay for 99cents because some are so common people just don&#039;t pay attention to them. I just enjoy collecting or hoarding or holding them in my hand so I&#039;m not going to go crazy over one point on the scale, but I sure want knock someone that&#039;s shooting for registry points if that&#039;s their goal. In fact I&#039;m working on a complete graded set of Bicentennial coins quarter,half and dollar and I want the highest grade for the money so while there are ms69 coins I may end up buying MS66 just because it looks good and cost 1/4. I&#039;m doing the same thing with non Gold Buffalo coins I&#039;m putting together a set of each type US coin depicting a buffalo or in the case of the Montana quarter a Buffalo skull, and again while PR70 pieces can be had in the $25 -$35 range PR69 coins can be purchased for $5-$10 in silver. I think the gap is too wide but I ain&#039;t complaining.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
