<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 443437, member: 15309&quot;]It seems that nobody really has a problem with conditional rarities overall but only with respect to differentiating between a 69 and a 70.&nbsp; Just because you can&#039;t see the difference, doesn&#039;t mean it doesn&#039;t exist.&nbsp; Again, I don&#039;t collect moderns and have very little experience with 69&#039;s and 70&#039;s.&nbsp; However the experience I do have tells me there is a difference between the two grades.&nbsp; Additionally, both NGC and PCGS are very reluctant to assign the 70 grade unlike the second tier TPG&#039;s like IGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following coin is a 1993 Jefferson Commemorative PCGS MS69.&nbsp; When I submitted the coin, I was rather new to coin collecting and had no idea what to expect.&nbsp; When the coin came back an MS69, I was curious as to what kept if from a 70.&nbsp; Here is the photo.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Commemoratives/Jefferson1993-PPCGSMS69ObverseHolde.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Commemoratives/Jefferson1993-PPCGSMS69Obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Commemoratives/Jefferson1993-PPCGSMS69Reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please feel free to tell me why this coin is not an MS70, and yes there is a very definitive reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
