<p>[QUOTE="Tin_Man_0, post: 3723817, member: 100189"]That's some serious BS going on right there. They're obviously not really just grading coins, maybe they're purposely making PCGS MS70 coins extremely rare to ensure they have the highest return on top pops? Just like you said, they'll flip the switch collect big on a string of MS68-70s and then stop for a while to keep it rare. It caught my attention because I was looking to see if they had graded any of the W cents and zero MS70s is just flat out BS. Westpoint produces all the special coins and MS70 is practically their middle name. Everything I've seen that doesn't have PMD is either 69 or 70 bearing the W mint mark. If you think about it, it's so stupid too. It's costing them a whole lot of money by doing things this way. I can't imagine how many coins were sent to NGC instead of PCGS because they did issue MS70s. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, they did "flip the switch" already. From 1959 to 2018 they issued a grand total of 952 MS69 Lincoln cents. Check out how many 2019W cents got the MS69 grading**. There not being any MS70s isn't due to grading standards, it's corp policy. Me personally, for the amount of money they charge to grade and encase a coin, I'd want a report of some sort indicating observations and points made or removed to explain the final grade. I'm surprised anyone, especially anyone who thinks they have a really nice coin, would ever send to PCGS; it's automatic they'll be graded at least 1 grade below what anywhere else would grade it simply because it's pretty reasonable to assume there aren't going to be any MS70s ever. Not for Half, Large, Bust, Head, Hair, Eagle, Indian, Lincoln or otherwise has there ever been any MS70s ever by PCGS' standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>**Over 1,907 2019W Lincoln cents were graded MS69[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
