<p>[QUOTE=&quot;financeman, post: 895512, member: 23818&quot;]Evorlor, </p><p>this is the second thread you have started about MS70 and or PF70. I would recommend you doing a little more research before making blanket statements like you have. The top three TPGers do not give out these high grades on very many coins. Normally there are less than 200 per year per TPGer out of millions of coins minted. I dont think that is an over abundance of the high grade. Also if you will look at the differant auction houses for these high grade coins and see how much they bring. If they were giving them out like candy as you say, the supply would over whelm the market and therefor the prices would be a lot lower.</p><p>If you dont believe me, check out heritage, ebay, and teletrade and see what these coins are going for. You can also go to coin facts on PCGS website and see how many have een graded at that high level on these coins.</p><p>Like some one else said earlier, the coins at the mint are made with a lot more care today than they were years ago so having a coin graded 65 means almost nothing. Almost all proof coins from the mint are 69 with a few graded at 70.</p><p>To comment on your second statement that all coins have flaws, I agree to some degree. Like the old saying goes, if you have a witch hunt long enough you will eventually find a witch. If you look at a coin long enough, you will eventually find some flaw but for the standards of that TPGer, the coin has reached the 70 grade. They are still humans grading these coins so if you get a differant person at the same TPGer when you send a coin back in, sometimes you will get a differant grade but anything done by people is subject to opinion. With coins, there are no exacts and never have been and if you can figure out a way to get the same grade every time on every coin, you will get rich.</p><p>I got a little long winded but I just wanted to get my point accross that before you make blanket statements, do the research. Just because you dont understand it or it seems &quot;stupid&quot; to you, doesnt make it wrong.</p><p>Just my opinion[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
