[QUOTE="skrilla, post: 71931, member: 3404"]cloud made a point i couldn't put into words at the time, however here's the truth of it. ok now take every one of those descriptions and put "at XX magnification" here's the PCGS definition ( from lingo section) meaning that a PCGS MS/PR 70 is a perfect coing at 5X magnification. taking the grading so literally as you do, no grade can be correct because if you increase the magnification you will see more flaws than the grade will allow. i know you will argue that it says "distracting" and other adjectives to describe the marks but again, at that magnification they ARE distracting. grading is a guide. no, no coin is dictionary perfect, but by the standards of the scale a coin can attain the highest grade possible. throw out the word "perfect", not the grade MS/PR 70 ( even if you wont buy them)[/QUOTE]
