<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numis-addict, post: 1836192, member: 35784&quot;]Yes, the graders do pay special attention to a coin with a massive value. They look closely before creating a conditional rarity that will cause the value to jump exponentially. However, in modern coinage, 70s really aren&#039;t that much of a conditional rarity. No one is going to say &#039;well hey, I better go with a 69 anyway on this silver eagle. Don&#039;t want to make it too valuable.&#039; In fact, I think they spend 8 or less seconds on each coin, so they are not going to be thinking twice about the grade of the coin at all. They grade the coin by looking at it and deciding the grade on first impression. They don&#039;t look for every tiny fault, as market grading focuses more on eye appeal than anything else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
