<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2625765, member: 1892&quot;]There are <b>no</b> MS70 Business Strike coins from PCGS or NGC. <b>None</b>. Of <b>any</b> US issue. There was one PCGS MS70 2003 Cent, but it was downgraded after developing a spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sundance79, your Buff is certainly a very nice one. It&#039;s certainly at the point where - meaning no offense - far better images would be required in order to form any sort of accurate grade opinion. Along these lines:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]576788[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]576789[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The details which form the difference with coins at the Premium Gem level are minuscule. Above MS65, they&#039;re <i>all</i> nice and you have to look pretty darn close to differentiate.</p><p><br /></p><p>With your coin, my attention was immediately drawn to the few marks on the Indian&#039;s nose and lip. Now, I&#039;m well aware that digital photography has given them more strength than they would show in-hand, but they&#039;re in a focal area and would count against the ultimate grade. Even as a non-grader of Buffs myself, I couldn&#039;t imagine awarding that coin a 68 with those marks in that central location. Similar marks elsewhere? Maybe; Buffs have a lot of places that will hide marks almost completely.</p><p><br /></p><p>Compare yours to the one I posted. Mine was MS66....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
