<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 19577, member: 824&quot;]I know that many would argue that it is totally impossible for a coin to achieve a 70 rating.&nbsp; Looking under a scope, you are bound to find something irregular.&nbsp; The question is how much scope power should be used when examining coins?&nbsp; 3X, 5X, 10X , 20X, etc.??&nbsp; I am sure that as you head up with higher magnifications, you can split &quot;atoms&quot; if you choose to.</p><p><br /></p><p>But as I stated before, I have bought, sold and submitted coins to ICG and have had a good experience.&nbsp; As for PCGS standards, the same questions/issues are brought up with any grading service...what are their standards?&nbsp; Is the grader having a good day or bad day when he/she reviews your coins?&nbsp; Is a &quot;slight&quot; blemish mean MS66 or MS65?, and on and on and on!</p><p><br /></p><p>We can discuss this to kingdom come, but I believe the numismatic industry will agree that the top 4 are PCGS, NGC, ICG and ANACS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
