Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2149518, member: 26302"]So I was just reading an article in the latest Numismatist. In there, the authors were laying the foundation for how they believe the TPG's will be moving "beyond" the MS70 designation. They believe MS70 will some day soon be viewed as quaintly as today we view the MS60 grade, in other words no coins will be graded MS70 anymore, as they will be 71, 72, etc. My first thought is what of all of these people who have spent their money on MS70 plastic. All of the sudden they will need to send these in to be regraded. I am sure this will exactly be the point in the eyes of the TPGs, but what of all of these "registry set" people who need to be the best? All of the sudden they will have to spend a ton on the new graded coins assuming their current 70's do not regrade as the new highest grade. Net net, might it be a good time to scour over MS70's and cherrypick the best coins from amongst them? Maybe. Might is be a good time to look at all of your 70's and sell inferior examples while they are still designated as "the best"? I sure think it would. Sounds like actually looking at your coins and grading for yourself might be useful again for a while.[/QUOTE]
