<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2157938, member: 29751&quot;]It&#039;s not a matter of being able to grade.&nbsp; Even the &quot;infallible&quot; TPGs can not consistently grade a coin as MS69 vs. MS70.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t believe me, crack out a few 70s and send them in -- and then cry when you see how many of them come back as 69s or even 68s.&nbsp; Or, if you think you&#039;re so darned good -- look at some coins with a 20x or even more magnification (well beyond what the TPGs use), find the supposed &quot;70s&quot; according to you, and then send them in -- they won&#039;t all come back 70s.&nbsp; If you think they will, you are crazy/delusional.</p><p><br /></p><p>The illusion of &quot;perfect 70s&quot; is created, maintained, and propped-up by the TPGs.&nbsp; They make boat loads of money in submission fees on bullion and modern junk being slabbed in hopes of the special 70 grade.&nbsp; It is a whole lot of hand waving, smoke, mirrors, and registry-set hype.&nbsp; Not much more than that.&nbsp; But, if that floats your boat, then by all means spend your money that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
