[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 24304667, member: 24754"]Sending coins from circulation (or even fresh rolls from the mint) trying to get MS 69+ is a losing game. I might be wrong, but my assumption is that super rich people playing the registry collection game are the only ones doing this kind of thing. They don't mind wasting tons of money on grading fees trying to get that top-pop 2023 business strike coin just to get an extra point on the other rich people. Even then, they'd probably be searching coins from mint sets... or no? I'm not sure if these coins receive any special treatment (saved from the mechanical processes of bagging/rolling at the mint). And then there's another question to consider....... is the difference between a 66-67-68+ really all that important? Is it really worth paying significantly more for a coin where observing the differences requires a microscope? If you look at the situation from an outside perspective, then it's pretty easy to see that we've gotten a bit carried away with this kind of thing. Card version: Could you reliably see the difference between a 9 and a 10 at arm's length? And why would you feel the need to look at a card at anything other than arm's length? Are we coin/card collectors? Or TPG number collectors?[/QUOTE]
