I got my Smothers Brothers $10 gold today...

...NICE! It looks absolutely perfect. What should I look for, short of using a scanning electron microscope, that would keep it from MS-70? Every coin I've ever gotten back MS-69 looked perfect...what the hell do they see that I can't?

Cheers,

Supposedly they examine them at 10x to look for defects on MS70 coins.

The rim and reeding.

Neil,

So what you're saying is that the TPG's don't bother with looking at the rim or reeding unless it has a shot at 70?
