LAST WEEKS DREW GREAT DIALOGUE.

If you have a certified coin MS or PF70, and after some time it develops toning or hazing or spots. Is this coin still considered a 70, and should it or should it not receive the same value at a sale? I ask this because it has happened to me and probably most all of you too. So if it still should attain a 70 value, then should not a coin exhibiting small toning or hazing or spots, in otherwise perfect condition be graded a 70 also????

Thank you all. Believe it or not these questions are of a great help to me learning our great hobby. I have only been at this since the late 60s, early 70s.

Lets get the discussion going.

I just realized something. When I turn 69 in a couple of years, do you think I may make a 70 grade?

OOPS!!! sorry this is way more than one question.
