<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 1900768, member: 58810&quot;]Almost all coins minted in modern times grade high. Just look at the population reports. There are 70&#039;s, 69&#039;s and that&#039;s it. I think it is rarer to find a 68 then a 70 if you look at the reports.&nbsp; The people who get caught up in high grade moderns usually are either doing it for the registry or have a belief that there will only be a few hundred or whatever pop of 70&#039;s. Truth is there is an ocean of modern coins as survival rates are high, mintages are high and modern minting techniques yield highly graded coins. Some people say there are only 69 and 70&#039;s on the population charts because people submit only high grade moderns but I&#039;m not convinced with this logic.&nbsp; Personally I view high grade moderns somewhere between beenie babies and tickle me elmo&#039;s. The only time I buy modern graded is error or variety coins. I do have a pr69 type 2 sba. But I would never pay the difference for a 70.</p><p><br /></p><p>if it keeps people spending on modern tpg coins then it keeps their money from competing with mine. Sure maybe some people would not buy any coins if there were no high grade moderns but some undoubtably would and they would make me pay more for my errors , patterns and toned coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>But hey feel free to ignore me. What do I know? Maybe listen to some other guy.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coins/the-collapse-of-the-2001-s-sacagawea-proof/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coins/the-collapse-of-the-2001-s-sacagawea-proof/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coins/the-collapse-of-the-2001-s-sacagawea-proof/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
