<p>[QUOTE="Arvin, post: 3047311, member: 81425"]So recently i bought a PCGS MS70 2018 Chinese silver Panda, and the coin doesn't look "perfect" to me. I don't know how to correctly describe these imperfections, so please bare with me. On the obverse of the Panda coin, the temple of heaven should be all matte finish, but there are what looks like tiny bright marks on them. The marks are also on the matte ring where the inscriptions are. These tiny marks look like results of impact with other coins, so maybe they happened during the minting process. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is not the only "70" graded coin that i have noticed imperfections.
