<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 184398, member: 3813&quot;]I&#039;ve read others posts like this (those that feel there is no such thing as &quot;the perfect coin&quot;) -but this makes *no* sense to me.&nbsp; First, the definition of MS70 isn&#039;t &quot;perfect under 1000x magnification.&quot;&nbsp; Second, I see no reason to have unobtainable grades (why not go all the way up to MS80 then, but only award grades up to MS69?).&nbsp; Third, I think it should be simple (and in theory is)... these are the things needed for a coin to get a certain grade and if the coin meets those requirements, it gets that grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind that &quot;luster&quot; and &quot;eye appeal&quot; are part of the grade, and there&#039;s really no exact way to measure &quot;eye appeal&quot; so it&#039;s pretty subjective.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty certain that any coin graded MS69 is nearly interchangeable with any coin graded MS70 and vice versa.&nbsp; this is why I think it&#039;s insane to pay MS70 prices for coins that aren&#039;t a bit better than MS69 ones.&nbsp; But people do it...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
