<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2338518, member: 69760&quot;]Do you ever look for raw coins to perhaps beat the current PCGS/NGC highest graded record?</p><p><br /></p><p>As I&#039;m looking to send some coins in to NGC, I can&#039;t help but notice the highest recorded grades they show, and how my examples are probably exponentially worse than those. Which immediately makes me wonder if I should upgrade to one that&#039;ll do better (way better) and top the current record.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though, I&#039;m not really into owning or buying slabbed MS-70 or PRooF-70 coins, as to me the marginal benefit over the 69 ones are slim. Perhaps this urge to beat the record is a phase that first time submitters get. Maybe it&#039;s a constant depending on your personality. Or maybe numismatists collectively share this urge since &quot;high&quot; coin grades in general are important to us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it just me or do you have that competitive urge, too?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, maybe you already submitted a coin and you hold the record (if so, pics please!)? That makes it a world record, right? lol Would it technically be correct to say that you hold the world record, literally in your hand (although if we&#039;re getting technical, it would be the world record of only the known graded examples). And, yes MS-70 and PRooF-70 examples of moderns are at the top already... but this is mostly for older examples that don&#039;t have grades in the 70&#039;s by PCGS and NGC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
