<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 722738, member: 112&quot;]To be honest I have never considered such a thing, but since you ask the question - yes, I would say that. My reasoning follows the same thinking as the ANA standards that any weakly struck coin, from an issue that is not known for being weakly struck, should never be graded any higher than MS65.</p><p><br /></p><p>And while I know that the TPG&#039;s will grade them higher with the die cracks, I seriously doubt that even one of them would grade a coin as a 70 if it had a die crack. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any way you look at it, die cracks are flaws in the coin. Even if some do find them interesting and quite collectible. It is an error, a mint error yes, but still an error. And I have never heard of any error coin being graded as a 70. Have you ? Would you grade a coin with a planchet flaw as a 70 ? I don&#039;t see how ya could.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
