<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 22011771, member: 24314&quot;]ANA DEFINITION OF MS-70: &quot;flawless exactly as it was minted, with no trace of wear or injury.&nbsp; Etc....&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, in reality, all coins EXACTLY AS MINTED can come with Flaws (&quot;errors&quot; due to planchet or strike).&nbsp; The Major TPGS add under 5X magnification.&nbsp; MS-69 can have no more than two, small, non-detracting marks or flaws.&nbsp; One knocks it out for me.&nbsp; As far as Mint made imperfections, I will grade a coin MS-70 with a strike thru because I mention the imperfection: MS-70, struck thru.&nbsp; Grading is personal, if anyone wishes to buy a coin graded MS-70 with three marks, that&#039;s their business.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen thousands of 100% perfect coins using high magnification under a stereo Microscope and florescent light.&nbsp; Trust me they exist; and I personally do not know how both the Mints of the world and Daniel Carr can strike so many of these large, perfect coins!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, your coin should have been called a strike thru.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
