<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2853833, member: 112&quot;]Prior to 2004 when the TPGs started changing their standards there were no coins dated prior to 1964 graded as a 70. And even from among all of the millions of coins that had been graded by 2004 there were still only a total 4,711 of them that had been struck after 1964 that were graded as 70. And all but a tiny handful of those were what are referred to as modern issues. And modern issues translates into commems and bullion coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The numbers I&#039;m quoting, those come direct from PCGS published pop reports. I can dig out the NGC numbers as well, but that takes a bit of work because they didn&#039;t publish summaries like PCGS did and all the numbers have to be counted and added together. But if memory serves the last time I did it the combined total for 70 coins from the 2 companies was about 10,000 - out of 30-40 million graded coins. I&#039;ve posted about it here before - someplace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
