Which is 69 and which is 70? The game contains at least one of each.

Bonus Points: Identify the "deficiency" or "deficiencies" :)

ANSWERS:
Coin 1: MS69

Coin 2: MS70

Coin 3: MS70

I don't see anything in the first coin that makes it worse than the other two. In fact, I thought it was the best of the bunch.

With Coins 2 and 3, there are some very small areas of darkness in the planchet. I've seen this quite a bit on the Peace dollars. This did not detract from the grade.

He who knows he has enough is rich.

    They all look like keepers to me! I do love the subjective nature of grading. So this will be interesting.

    You are probably messing with us, and showing the same coin multiple times... 😜

    Ha Ha! Good one, OP!
    No one got it right! How could that happen?! I thought this was a science!
    Bullion away!
    That was almost as random as the Coke\Pepsi challenge.
