[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 929581, member: 17557"]That link doesn't do jack. I guarantee there are MS70's that have imperfections at 5x magnification, heck, they can probably even be seen with the naked eye sometimes too. MS69's are the same way. Some 69's are nicer than 70's, some are not, some are the same. There really is no way to grade them, it is a total toss up. I think a neat experiment would be to actually grade a various selection of coins by those 'standards' and see if it comes back at either 69 or 70, whatever grade you assigned. You'd be surprised at how many coins you graded 69's come back 70 and vice-versa. Grading of modern coins, IMO, can sometimes can really be a joke.[/QUOTE]
