[QUOTE="clembo, post: 392694, member: 8033"]This is why I don't buy into "modern" slabbed coins. The technology is there to produce MS69-70 coins all day and many are in the eyes of NGC and others. My boss sends this stuff to NGC all the time. Frequently I look at them for my opinion as to what to send in. Last batch was 5 2008 reverse of 07 Silver Eagles. I personally saw flaws on all of them. 4 of the 5 came back as 70. They all looked the same to me honestly. A few SMALL flaws which should peg them at MS69 tops. It's a big money making game IMHO. Really, who can tell the difference between them if not in a humk of plastic? I slab VERY few coins. The ones I do are older coins, mainly type, when the technology was less efficient to produce ultra high grade coins. It does matter to me there and one can see the difference. Seen any MS70 Two Cent Pieces lately? Seen any MS70 Silver Eagles lately? Why even slab this modern stuff other than to command an instant higher price? clembo[/QUOTE]
