<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2518097, member: 71338"]I don't like the grading of modern US coins, especially proof coins from the 70s on up. Frosted proofs and cameos became the norm around here or shortly after. The higher grade 1982-1983 US business strike coins interest me a tad but that's a different story somewhat. It's commonplace seeing a whole slew of ms/pf 68/69s in slabs selling for 10 dollars, more or less. I would think mainly dealers sent these in hoping for perfect grades (they get bulk rates and would probably gamble like this). Of course, few US moderns pique my interest, so my aversion to grading more modern coins stems from this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
