Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 6640963, member: 105098"]the "flaw" usually comes down to the luster or depth of strike of the coin, which keeps it out of 70. I'm actually a believer that they just randomly call things 69 and 70, as a percentage of what they look at... hahahaha, it's a joke but you have to think like that in some cases like when the 69 is a head scratcher on what was the imperfection to hold it back. I have to assume this 69 or a 70 is a modern mint product anyways because it happens so rarely otherwise. Maybe just a slightly inferior strike, or a slightly muted luster, something like that when no other flaws can be identified, that would be my guess as to why some coins get tagged at 69 instead of a 70. as far as "is it worth cracking out and resubmitting", it depends on the particular coin in question what a 69 and what a 70 sells for and how much the fees are and of course, how many times you have to resubmit it to get it in a 70 slab.[/QUOTE]
