<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3973805, member: 112&quot;]green - behave yourself ! Else you find yourself running out of chalk from writing on the blackboard !</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the question asked by the OP. I suspect it would take countless reams of paper to print out all the discussions on the subject of the difference between a 69 and a 70. And there&#039;s little doubt that it takes gigs of digital space to store them all. And no doubt the same question will be posed hundreds and thousands of times yet again in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here&#039;s the thing. It seems to me, it&#039;s always seemed to me, that there is a question several orders of magnitude more important, and that question is rarely if ever asked and answered even less. What is it ? Can anyone here tell the difference between a 63 and a 65, or between a 64 and a 66 or 67 ? Or even an XF or AU and an MS ? Or any other grades you wish to name ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Ya see, those grades, or rather mis-grades, occur millions of times more often than do the 69 vs 70. And those mis-grades account for millions and no doubt billions of dollars that come out of all your pockets ! And yet those questions rarely get asked. All the while being the questions that should be asked the most for that very reason ! And of course it is those questions that truly deserve being discussed the most.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the next time the question of 69 vs 70 arises in someone&#039;s mind, please consider what I have said above. For you will be doing yourself and the hobby a great favor <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
