<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swick, post: 248368, member: 7587&quot;]I believe that in a previous thread, someone posted that one of the biggest reasons that PCGS DOES NOT grade many coins as MS-70, is because they feel that in the long run, many of the coins will &quot;tone&quot; in some way, and then their reputation will be &quot;tarnished&quot; because they graded the coin as MS-70. So, they grade more coins as MS-69 to protect their reputation....in the long run. Does anyone remember someone saying this, or was I just having a &quot;flash back&quot;?? LOL </p><p>Anyways.....Does anyone think that there is a FINE line between &quot;buy the coin, not the slab&quot;? If I buy, say a 2007 Washington Dollar, &quot;Smooth Edge&quot; error coin, I would definitely buy one graded by one of the top 3 TPGs. Isn&#039;t this like &quot;buying the slab, not the coin&quot;? Buying a coin like this, I could be fairly certain that the coin would be for real and not &quot;messed&quot; with.</p><p><br /></p><p>swick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
