Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2149810, member: 26302"]Sir, back in the day there were no such things as MS64. So coins were either 63 or 65. Was it a dumb move back then to cherrypick the better 63's so when they came out with 64's the coin would upgrade? Same thing with MS66 grade. "Buy the coin not the holder"? I have been on here over 5 years preaching that. Everyone who likes slabbed coins know I feel that way. The entirety of my post was to point out to modern collectors they aren't "safe" just because they own MS70 coins. The TPGs will find a way to differentiate these coins, and make you resubmit in order to get whatever it is that they term "better". Do I necessarily think cherrypicking better 70's is something I would do? Heck no, but I think smart money who likes modern coins should consider it. If I owned modern 70's would I be nervous enough to go through every one and get rid of any inferior 70's I owned? Heck yeah I would. I am the oddball. I collect coins for what they are, what their history is. I truly do not give one bit what any other person on earth thinks of my coins. So I have the luxury of collecting what pleases me without the fear of future price performance.[/QUOTE]
