<p>[QUOTE="IAMMore, post: 2865196, member: 90209"]Yep, I don't agree with them either. So that's just that. It would be interesting to send all 4 of those same eagles raw for inference, but being happy with NGC in the past, I don't see the reason to do it. I'm a lot more interested in the coin, than plastic. Having said that, I could post countless examples from large dealers who advertise rare modern gold eagles graded by PCGS MS70 (but look MS69) with dings, scratches (some being very visible and obvious), with super inflated price based on PCGS value estimate. Could you find similar example for coins graded MS70 by NGC, I don't doubt it, but in my experience I only had to return a modern eagle graded MS70 by NGC once when purchased from a large dealer, but even then it was pretty close. PCGS also has a lot lower population in various years, hence their value estimates are a lot more hefty. The reason this annoys me is because the difference between MS70 and MS69 is not that big, and if you start grading what appears like MS69 as MS70, you are watering down the definition of perfect coin and making grading of modern eagles pointless. I won't even go into charging the huge premiums for it, especially when you're actually buying MS69![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
