<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 28326, member: 669&quot;]The folks who&#039;ve been here a while all know that I consider slabbing to be worthwhile for authentication <i>only</i>, so pardon me for butting in where perhaps I&#039;m not wanted, but it just seems to me that even though the difference between a 68 and a 69 is almost certainly an exercise in splitting hairs, the difference between 69 and 70 is an absolute no-brainer.</p><p><br /></p><p>By definition, 70 is &quot;perfect&quot;.&nbsp; That means full luster, a full strike, no bag or contact marks, no rub or other circulation marks, and no spots, discolorations, etc. (I know, tarnish is okay with most folks so long as you call it &quot;toning&quot;.)&nbsp; No matter how close to perfect it may be, a coin with <i>any</i> defect, however slight, does <i>not</i> now, and never will, meet that definition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
