[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 825413, member: 18157"]I'm on eBay buying PCGS 2010 ASEs bullion coins...(dunno why, really). I bought an MS69 "First Strike" for $25...which I thought was a good buy considering the $14 grading fee (or the $10 bulk fee). I then bought an MS70 "First Strike" ASE for $75. The only reason I didn't use that $$ to buy three (3) more MS69's is because I have at least one of the other dates in MS70 and wanted to keep the MS70 collection going. While doing this, a question came to mind... [B]What "typically" sets an MS69 coin apart from an MS70? :confused:[/B] What should I look for to appreciate the extra $$ I spent? When I look at these coins, I don't see the difference. Is it the strike of the coin? If so, [B]are there specific characteristics a grader looks for when deciding between these grades?[/B] Specifically, I only need the Delaware quarter to complete my NGC PF70 UCAM Silver State Quarter collection.
