<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2530496, member: 19250&quot;]I have to agree with&nbsp; Chris can you really tell the difference&nbsp; between&nbsp; a 69/70?</p><p>I will she this with you.... I do collect&nbsp; ASE both proofs and MS. The proofs are raw in original&nbsp; mint&nbsp; Packages. </p><p>I do have several MS as well a few PR coins in my collection&nbsp; of&nbsp; ASE. Including&nbsp; the 2008 reverse&nbsp; of 07. At one time I had over 10 of them 8 of the 10 were SP 70</p><p>Try and sell one..... no one will pay you for a 70 anywhere&nbsp; near book value ! No when&nbsp; they can get a 69 for hundreds&nbsp; less .</p><p>now my graded ASE&#039;S are either&nbsp; raw or graded ms-68.</p><p>Why you ask.....well&nbsp; since these are bullion&nbsp; coins with few of the series&nbsp; being key coins I chose 8&#039;s as just like the difference&nbsp; between&nbsp; a 69/70....a 68/69 pretty&nbsp; close .</p><p>and population . Everyone&nbsp; wants 69 or better&nbsp; coins.</p><p>no I .....I want all 68&#039;s from 1986 to date .</p><p>now if you&#039;re&nbsp; talking some of the lower&nbsp; mintage&#039;s I can understand&nbsp; wanting&nbsp; higher grades.....but again I gave away at least 8 2008/07 &#039;s in 70 as no one would&nbsp; pay that much more a premium&nbsp; for the sake of a speck in the fields.</p><p>Maybe be I&#039;m&nbsp; wrong but I like the 6 8&#039;s&nbsp; maybe I&#039;m&nbsp; just&nbsp; different .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
