<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2517222, member: 71338&quot;]I&#039;d suspect that part of the reason 70s are appearing more is due to higher standards or better technology at the mint. Furthermore, these 70s coins are from recent decades and have had less time to get banged around or toned harshly. I&#039;m sure 70s are more common with later issues. I think this was implied in another post. One might interpret the increase in 70s as being more accurate grading standards being achieved than leniency. Perfection can be and is achieved in minting coins, and I&#039;d think it&#039;s normal to see plenty of these grades out there, especially because many (not me) pay dearly for these condition rarities. This is also an incentive to grade more candidates[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
