<p>[QUOTE="mach330, post: 1067030, member: 25161"]Thank you everyone for the advice. Sorry, I shouldn't have included uncirculated/proof in my original post, I do know the differences in those. I was just making a point that there are a lot of options it seems. So a PR-70 or MS-70 first strike or early release coin will look absolutely no better than a regular 70 coin? I noticed, for example, APMEX sells a 2010 MS-70 for 83.99 and the "First Strike" for 94.99 both from PCGS. Can there be differences between coins graded 70? I want the absolute best that I can get, so if there's even the slightest difference I may be willing to pay the extra 10 bucks. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see how a coin can be 100% "perfect" (maybe to the naked eye). Are they all perfectly non-toned? Will a slabbed coin still tone in a non-climate controlled environment?</p><p><br /></p><p>What exactly is the UCAM/DCAM? And are there any other things to look for?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
