<p>[QUOTE=&quot;supradealz, post: 1293034, member: 34016&quot;]if you think ms69 and ms70 coins are all the same send me all your ms70 coins from your 2011 rolls and you can keep the ms69 with the nicks and tiny scratches. ill even pay you a small premium.</p><p>now i do have a really nice ms69 that i couldnt find a flaw until i held it at an angle i could see it has a light swipe mark where it slid across another coin. i give ngc congrats in grading it as a ms69, and its a very nice ms69, but the fact i could see it i would be calling them up and cashing in the guarantee if it were an ms70. on the other hand i have ms69&#039;s with very visible marks. even all ms69 are not the same. but if i can see a mark with my naked eye on an ms70 its not an ms70.</p><p>i think people just dont pay enough attention to detail. they say hey that ms69 looks gorgeous it looks perfect compared to their pocket change. it looks great compared to the AEs in my danco album, and not even toned. go figure...</p><p>the reason ms70 is so hard to find is its hard to handle anything like a coin in the minting to grading chain without having some insignficant but noticable mark. and that mark means its not perfect (to the naked eye).</p><p>i&#039;d bet you $500 i could find a flaw and point it out on one of your ms69s without a loupe and that you could not find a flaw with your naked eye on my ms70&#039;s. the fact that i can differentiate it (or a grader) means there is a difference. and difference &amp; rarity = value. joe collector may not be able to see the difference but he has paid a grader to tell for him and to certify it.</p><p>and you gotta figure with these modern coins nearly every coin is an ms69. there are no au55 AE unless you buried it in the back yard. so an ms70 gives rarity to an otherwise common ms69[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
