Therefore, their value is much lower than an MS70 silver eagle. If the silver eagles were selling for $125 each like many of the commems, PCGS would likely take the risk and grade them MS70 as their liability is small. However, MS70 silver eagles are currently $10K coins.I can understand PCGS not waiting to take that risk considering they only get about $5 for grading one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
