<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2599732, member: 69760&quot;]In any case, there&#039;s no way a grader could have missed that spot, especially one from ANACS and despite the short amount of examination given to coins by graders. I saw it within a couple moments of laying my eyes on the coin in hand for the very first time. This leads me to believe that the grader took that small mark into account, and still concluded a 70 based on &quot;X&quot; (whether grading criteria, as struck, etc.).</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m most curious about now is, what is the actual criteria beyond the standard and basic ANA guidelines for grading by each of the major TPGs to determine a 70 grade? So, does one require absolutely no flaw except toning? Would as-struck by the Mint be acceptable as a 70 grade by NGC/PCGS?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
