<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fusiafinch, post: 669420, member: 18382&quot;]Good question. Even at this grade of 70, certain coins are better than others with eye appeal. All should have a full strike with no haze and no visible imperfections (although there&#039;s some argument about planchet flaws). I believe that some grading standards hedge their bets by saying, &quot;no impections seen at 10x magnification&quot;, but if I&#039;m paying for a PF70, I don&#039;t want to see any imperfections at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I don&#039;t buy any MS70 or PF70 because I do think it&#039;s a marketing ploy to dig big money out of the collector for a coin that looks just like a 69. If I were going to buy a 70 coin, I should be able to line up a bunch of 69 coins with that one 70 coin and I should have no problem picking the 70 out.</p><p><br /></p><p>But think of this: Have you ever tried to sell that 70 coin back to a dealer for those same prices? I don&#039;t think so. I bet most sales of 70 coins are one-way only: dealer to collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
