<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 46890, member: 112&quot;]Fair enough. But then I wanna point something else out. Would you agree that it used to be all but impossible to find business strike coins that were graded as MS69 or MS70 ? Yeah you could find quite a few 67&#039;s and every now and then you could find a 68. But a 69 - let alone a 70 ??</p><p><br /></p><p>Well here&#039;s a few facts.

If you were to look at the Proofs - the PCGS numbers are anywhere from 3 to 10 times higher than the NGC numbers for the PF69/70 grades.
