<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 444196, member: 112&quot;]But you are not talking about reality, you are creating your own scenario. And while that scenario may work for lesser grades, it would not work for a 70.</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all, the TPG&#039;s do not use &quot;flawless&quot; in their definition - the ANA does. PCGS says - &quot;Marks - An MS70 coin has no defects of any kind visible with a 5x glass.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>That alone limits the grade to any flaws that cannot be seen with a 5x glass. Use a 10X glass and may see some flaws - thus the coin is not flawless, or perfect.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, the way grading works at a TPG there are 3 graders - then there is a finalizer. For a coin to achieve the grade of 70 - all 4 of those graders have to agree that the coin is a 70. If only 1 disagrees - the coin gets a 69.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
