<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1981, post: 694574, member: 20610&quot;]I never got into the &quot;high-end&quot; mint state coins because I am well aware of how the grading standards have changed over the years and wonder if any of the major graders will be readjusting what constitutes an MS 69 or MS 70 over the next decade as, yes, more of our modern coinage gets produced with true perfection. For the same reason, I wonder how many of the recent coinage (Perhaps 1980s/1990s and&nbsp; later) is overpriced in the ultra-high grades, but that is just my two cents. </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I feel the ultra-high-grade coins strike me as a designer label, and I have a hard time noticing the differences after MS 67 - 68. Certainly, a microscopic tick or two means the difference between MS 68, 69, and 70, and I believe that is a REAL difference, but I don&#039;t know if I would spend several thousands more for an MS 70 over an MS 68-69. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
