[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 531483, member: 112"]First of all, I want you to find me all these coins that you say grade MS69. PF69, yeah I'll believe that in a heartbeat. But MS69 ? You're dreaming. It just doesn't happen. Yes, since 2005 when the satin finish on Mint Sets came out there have been more coins graded 69. But from among the regular business strikes - afraid not. About the best you can hope for in a business strike is a 67, with a few 68's - maybe. Even 67 is tough. Sometimes very tough. But the main point of your question - should moderns even be graded ? Until 2002 or so NGC [B]would not grade[/B] any coin struck after 1964. But because they got so many complaints about this from the public, they decided to change their policy to satisfy their customers' requests. So if you wish to blame somebody for moderns being graded - blame the public, not the TPG.[/QUOTE]
