[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2149750, member: 26302"]Please show me a coin in the past few years graded MS60, which used to be a relatively common grade. Please explain to me why people spent 15 years buying up old slabs to get them regraded. What about 70's? They NEVER gave them out, (and in fact told the hobby when they started they viewed it as a theoretical grade, not one that would ever be given out), and now a huge percentage of their business model is cranking out HSN fluff. To say there has been no intentional changes done by slabbing companies over the years is immensely naïve IMHO. My two points I believe are still valid: 1. It might be worth cherrypicking 70's and picking up the very best you can find, 2. It probably is worth going through any 70's you own and selling any that appear to be of lesser quality than others. Those two points would be very valuable if any higher grades ever came out, and even if they don't, does it really hurt to try to have better coins regardless of what TPG's might say about them?[/QUOTE]
