<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2945103, member: 71723&quot;]I wish I could say the answer is &quot;no&quot;. I&#039;m not so sure. Yes, there are extremely modern coins, usually not made intended for circulation, that routinely can be graded 68, 69, or even 70, and they are blast white. But after a certain age, it DOES seem to me that unless a coin has some toning to it, a 67 is about the top that we ever see. Some here will attempt to deny that toning literally adds grading points to a coin, but I&#039;ve personally seen enough to prove to me this is very real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
