<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2090835, member: 29751&quot;]Your understanding of the assessments of 70 vs. 69 is theoretical.&nbsp; I simply don&#039;t buy that the TPGs can differentiate between a 70 vs. 69 coin <b><i>consistently</i></b>.&nbsp; When I see someone crack and resubmit even 20 coins (ten 70s and ten 69s), and they all come back the same grade, then I&#039;ll believe it isn&#039;t more than just smoke and mirrors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>PS -- there is <b><u>NO</u></b> way to submit 50 coins that you &quot;<b>knew for sure</b>&quot; were 70s.&nbsp; I don&#039;t care what level of magnification or microscope you are using, you can&#039;t guarantee that the graders don&#039;t find something like a small hairline or something just doesn&#039;t &quot;look right&quot; to them to assign the 70.&nbsp; Even the best of the best of screeners/reviewers who have made the majority of modern circulation top pops and make a living at it (think Mark DiLauro) don&#039;t get the grades they always think they should.&nbsp; In the rarefied air of 70 vs. 69, all bets are off with regard to what one think they &quot;know&quot; when submitting coins for grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
