<p>[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1292916, member: 28971"]MS69 and MS70 is the prevelant grade for NCLT coins, and very very few circulating coinage series garner those grades (yeah, there are 69's, but in the grand scheme of things, these grades are for NCLT..specially prepared planchets, specially struck...for collecting for sheer collecting of a series, 69 is the grade to go. Very few people can tell the difference. Even the TPG's...if you cracked a 70, sent it in raw, might very well come back a 69. 70 does NOT mean 'perfect' in the literal sense of the word.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those that are playing the registry set game, THEY just HAVE to have 70's. One other reason is for resale down the line. 70's will always bring more money....then, throw in 'First Strike' or 'Early Release' with the 70 grade, and prices balloon. Sure, buy the best grade you can afford, but then again, buy what you like. A nice, uniform set of ASE's in MS69 can look every bit as nice as a set of 70's...and some of those 69's could regrade 70, one never knows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
