[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 28377, member: 824"]I agree Roy...however I have some SAE PCGS PR69DCAM's and I look and look and for the life of me I can't find any fault to the coin. Then, when I look at a PR70DCAM for the same year and, you guessed it, I can't tell the difference from the 69 to the 70 under the same 5X magnification. Maybe they put them under the scope and look under 10, 15 or 20X, but I have seen many 69DCAM's (especially SAE's which I love) and can't see anything that would warrant one a 69 and the other a 70. I understand the concept of a perfect 70, but can a coin ever achieve a 70? If you look under serious magnification where the human eye could never ascertain such minute differences, is any struck coin ever going to be "perfect"? However, the market demands and insists on the possibility that it can be achieved. Hence, the discussion continues.[/QUOTE]
