<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 444106, member: 13650&quot;]Well, I disagree.&nbsp; You have to admit that there has to be a top to the scale.&nbsp; Right now, there are better condition coins than 69s so the 70 is needed.&nbsp; There needs to be a number for the ultimate perfect coins, should they deserve it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; May sound goofy but maybe there needs to be a gap?&nbsp; I know it&#039;s a point scale but maybe 69 and 70 should just be 70 and anything less than a 70 is a 68?&nbsp; It could be that it is the 69 grade that really isn&#039;t needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;As for prices I&#039;m somewhat torn over whether 70s should command the huge prices over 69s.&nbsp; On one hand, the differences are so, soooo minor, it really shouldn&#039;t matter for a modern coin, but on the other hand, a 70 is the ultimate grade and obviously harder to achieve which normally makes them rarer.&nbsp; Ultimate, hardest to achieve, rarer all equals $$, no matter what hobby you&#039;re in.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If I can reasonably afford a 70 for not much more than a 69, I will buy the 70.&nbsp; Once the price difference becomes insane by my standards, then it&#039;s not worth it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Everybody has different standards and levels they&#039;re willing to go to.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would never pay several hundred dollars more for a 70 over a 69.&nbsp;&nbsp; Although I do have some 70s in my collection that were not at huge premiums to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
