<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucky Cuss, post: 1685385, member: 44086&quot;]I just wanted to remark with respect to Postulate #1 that I personally can&#039;t discern the physical difference between coins graded 69 versus those deemed worthy of the the perfect 70 score, so I don&#039;t shun them nor am I suggesting doing so. From an analytical standpoint, I also don&#039;t think that Postulate #1 in any way implies that &quot;we do away with any kind of grading scale altogether, and all other less-than-perfect coins should just be thrown into the bargain bin.&quot;&nbsp; I do agree with the later statement that &quot;Condition rarity should be more important than mintages&quot; and I believe that&#039;s actually more or less the thrust of Postulate #1, that in modern issues, 69&#039;s are quite common while 70&#039;s aren&#039;t (relatively speaking), and thus the latter is where the action might well be years from now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I ought to emphasize that I wasn&#039;t intending to engage here in advocacy with regards to any of these postulates (which summarize opinions I&#039;ve heard or read), even though I&#039;ll admit they do seem to me to have some prima facie merit.&nbsp; They&#039;re put up here primarily to form the basis for a healthy discussion of where future collecting may be headed. </p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
