Henri Charriere Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 On 3/2/2024 at 1:32 PM, Sandon said: Yes, there are several small ticks on the obverse, at least one of which is observable at certain angles to my nearsighted eyes without magnification. There are also striations on the obverse rim that are observable in the photo in the area of the date and may be "as made" but are still imperfections. An MS-69 would prompt close inspection. An MS-70, likely wouldn't. Now I understand your declaration, elsewhere, that you have never seen flawless perfection. I guess it's a good thing they are virtually imperceptible. Perhaps the graders did not feel they warranted a demerit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sandon Posted March 3 Popular Post Share Posted March 3 This 2019 Canada .9999 silver "modified proof" Maple Leaf, NGC graded Modified PF 69, accompanied the previously posted enhanced reverse proof U.S. silver eagle as part of the "Pride of Two Nations" set. Except for a small area of discoloration (tarnish?) on the rim, I see nothing that would make its condition superior to the U.S. coin, which graded "70".

But, but... what coin is superior to a coin graded "70"? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jimbo27 Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 (edited) Well, my coins shipped today, and the coins fared well. One coin lost a grade, and two gained a grade. The ANACS coins are holding their own against NGC. First the labels, then the coins. The 1900 I thought was a vam 11, not 24, as I already have a vam 24.
