<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1105944, member: 24633&quot;]The cameo (frost) on the proof coins has a fine textured surface to make it stand out against the mirrored fields. Eventually, the cameo surfaces can begin to fade from continued striking, so it is possible that you may have some that were produced late in the production life of the dies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I get the feeling that you are buying the slab instead of the coin. Yes, there can be very minute imperfections that should prevent the coins from grading 70, but they will sometimes slip past the graders and quality control. That is why it is very important to examine the coin very carefully and not rely on the given grade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t know how much you are paying for the 70&#039;s, but the prices usually aren&#039;t justified, and if you ever decide to sell your collection, you probably won&#039;t recover what you paid. If money is not important, then it won&#039;t matter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
