Message:: [QUOTE="Hunt1, post: 1369764, member: 25971"]MS70, and MS69 are all hypothetically opinionated grades. You will find MS69's better looking than MS70's. Except MS70's can be 2x-20x the price of a MS69, which has led to a predominantly ignorance in slabbed coins. Why? When people look at population reports, and for example; a MS69 has 1200 graded at MS69, mean while the MS70 has only 200, well up goes the value. But as the old saying goes, buy the coin-- not the slab, you have to look at the details with varying MS69 and MS70 grades, and decipher for yourself which ultimatly looks better. As far as PCGS's VS NGC's standards, i cannot comment, because i have not done alot of research on PCGS. I like NGC's style holder better. I do believe PCGS is stronger in some area's of numismatics, but does not dominate the grading industry as some people portray it to be. In the end, grading is subjective, and you must go off what you can see on the coin, not just buy it for the numerical grade assigned.[/QUOTE]
