<p>[QUOTE=&quot;supradealz, post: 1293170, member: 34016&quot;]i havent found fault with any of my ms70&#039;s yet.&nbsp; yes i know non perfect ms70&#039;s are certified. i know if i try to grade coins for more than 45 minutes i get eye strain and have trouble - i couldn&#039;t imagine doing it day in &amp; day out. so mistakes are made. i&#039;m just saying, for a &quot;real&quot; ms70 that you get and you verify for yourself, there is a difference over an ms69.</p><p><br /></p><p>and you might get an ms69 to slab a ms70 but if you can see the flaw then its not a true grade. and if you&#039;re dealing with a $1500 MS70 coin that has flaws and the ms69 version is worth $80 then you will have problems selling it because you will be certain that buyer will look at it with a loupe. thats why people say buy the coin not the slab. theres always mistakes made even within ms69 grades. and why you can get a good deal on a really nice ms69 that looks perfect but then see a crappy ms69 with milk spots or hazing all over the back. </p><p>i own one ms69 that looks nearly flawless other than a light rub mark, and another ms69 that has half the coin full of milk spots. i am not saying the slab is always right or that its always consistent. the thread poster was saying theres no difference between an ms69 and ms70 and i&#039;m saying there is, especially when graded correctly</p><p>or an ms70 with toning spots. i&#039;m not saying there aren&#039;t mistakes.</p><p>i&#039;m just saying i can tell the flaws in all my ms69&#039;s and cannot on my ms70&#039;s and that is a difference to me, no matter how small. those ms69&#039;s are &quot;not perfect&quot;, and the ms70&#039;s are perfect as far as i can see even with a 10x loupe.</p><p>i&#039;m not knocking ms69&#039;s by all means, most of my collection are ms69 due to price. and if you&#039;re just collecting specimens, ms69 is the way to go. but most ms69 are not numismatic items because they are far too common. they are just bullion plus that fun factor. ms70 gets you into the numismatic territory for certain years because they are truly rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
