[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8037896, member: 115909"]I wasn’t counting the pre-screened ones. You’re right they do cherry-pick the 70s. That’s why the population report says that [I]all of them [/I]are 70s. [ATTACH=full]1392122[/ATTACH] But I was talking about the normal submissions from non-dealer people who bought them from the Mint like I did. I could’ve sworn I read somewhere when I was reading everything about submissions that it said somewhere that I was not allowed to pick MS/PF 70 as a minimum grade. Maybe they let dealers do that but idk or not. Even so I can’t imagine not getting a few 70s out of 18 coins total. Before I sent them in I spent about 10 minutes per coin looking through a loupe and trying to find any sort of blemish or weak strike or anything that would make the coin obviously not a 70. To my great surprise I couldn’t find anything. Usually I can with things like ASEs (especially proofs) like with my v75 I chose not to send it in because it had a teeny tiny hairline scratch above the privy mark. I thought I found a tiny blemish on one of the S mintmark Morgans but it was just a speck of dust. That’s why I think they were well minted and struck well. Because I was impressed to not be able to find anything wrong.[/QUOTE]
