<p>[QUOTE="theSharpGun, post: 1602781, member: 39683"]Theoretically there is no such thing as perfection but TPG's have set criteria of what makes a coin an MS70 and if all criteria is met than it is an MS70. An MS70 does not mean that the coin is flawless but it's pretty darn close. I have an MS70 2012 ASE graded by NGC. It's a beautiful coin but I went through and examined every square millimeter and found a tiny milk spot. It's barely noticeable but it's there. NGC probably noticed that as well but it was too minuscule to be taken a whole point down so they kept it at the 70. </p><p><br /></p><p>NGC and other TPG companies have their standards on what can knock a point down and how severe it has to be. So yeah no coin is truly perfect. And honestly, without a loupe, I don't even notice the difference between an MS69 and an MS70 most of the time, so it's really up to you on how you want to perceive "perfection". </p><p><br /></p><p>-theSharpGun[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
