<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 444722, member: 15309&quot;]Ruben,</p><p><br /></p><p>Are you saying that the majority of the 70&#039;s have been submitted multiple times in order to achieve their maximum grade and are actually low end for the grade and should be in 69 holders.&nbsp; Therefore if they were resubmitted, the probability would be that they would be downgraded to their appropriate grade.&nbsp; If you are that would be an new twist on your ever changing rant.</p><p><br /></p><p>You first stated that the graders really can&#039;t tell and just flip a coin to decide.&nbsp; Are you now saying that they are actually applying a standard which they themselves disagree upon which accounts for the inability to achieve repeatable results?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know you won&#039;t respond to my post, but maybe someone else could pose my question to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, I very much doubt the most moderns are being submitted multiple times in order to achieve a bump from 69 to 70.&nbsp; The price difference for most issues is too small to warrant the effort.&nbsp; The crackout game is usually applied to conditional rarities where there is a huge price jump from grade to grade.&nbsp; The 1934-D Peace Dollar from MS64 to MS65 comes to my mind immediately.&nbsp; The 1934-D jumps from $600 to $1800 from MS64 to MS65 make it very worthwhile to seek out PQ MS64 coins and resubmit them several times until the coin is graded MS65.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another coin that would qualify would be the start of this mess.&nbsp; The 1977-S Proof IKE.&nbsp; I am positive that many have tried to resubmit their PF69&#039;s hoping for a 70.&nbsp; Look how well it worked for them, the count stands at 13.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
