<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2341381, member: 24633&quot;]The problem with the ANA Grading Standards is there are no descriptions between MS70 and MS67. Are we to assume that MS68 &amp; MS69 do not exist? A minimum grade of MS68 for business strikes is what I am always after. I&#039;ve never found fewer than a dozen or so that would grade MS68 in any bag of 250 or more coins. It more than covers the expenses and gives you a profit, but the MS67&#039;s won&#039;t always produce the same results. Another problem is that there are no guidelines for a series like SQ&#039;s or ATB&#039;s where the reverse design changes every year.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never attended an ANA grading class, but it doesn&#039;t take a rocket scientist to figure out which are the prime focal areas for most of the modern coins of today. For that matter, what difference does it make if you&#039;re looking only for specimens that will grade MS68 or better. According to the ANA Grading Standards, they must be just like MS70&#039;s since they&#039;re not even mentioned in the book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
