<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 175066, member: 3813&quot;]I was going to throw in a bit about &quot;the perfect coin&quot; as I had seen some people (maybe it was you) refer to that when speaking of MS-70.&nbsp; I don&#039;t (honestly) know what the MS-70 standard is exactly (the exact wording for the each coin that gets it), but whatever it is, if the coin meets the standard, then it should get it.&nbsp; Since there&#039;s (supposedly) more to grading than just noting wear, blemishes, and defects (somewhat black and white realm), opinions about luster and eye-appeal clearly fall into the &quot;entirely subjective&quot; realm.&nbsp; Thus a MS-69 could be a MS-70 and vice-versa depending on who&#039;s holding the loupe.&nbsp; In other words, I find it completely understandable how some people could not believe in the MS-70 grade, while others do.&nbsp; I don&#039;t feel either is wrong (even the TGP grader, heh).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a big fan of any of this garbage, however I do realize that there are (can be) at least rough steps (grading) for coins.&nbsp; Unless the difference is $5, I wouldn&#039;t buy a MS-70 over a MS-69.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if there is such a thing as &quot;the perfect coin&quot; but at the same time, if a MS-70 is unobtainable, then the highest grade a coin could get would be a MS-69, and one could argue that that is unobtainable (and so on).</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I&#039;m more of a &quot;bring back the F, XF, AU, etc. days&quot; type, heh.&nbsp; While I understand the want/need for more steps inbetween XF and AU (thus all the numbers), I just can&#039;t take the high dollar amount jumps between 1 point grades.&nbsp; If there is such a thing as MS-70, it isn&#039;t worth $3,000 more than a MS-69.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
