Pop report misprint? A ms70 graded Morgan?

looks like a 1878 S was graded ms70 or there was a mechanical error.
Can anyone 100% confirm this as being a coin that was graded?
Where is ms68 when we need him?

If it is real let's guess the offering price. I will throw out 1.5 million.

I won't go less than 1.75M.

What, was this coin taken from the dies using cotton gloves, then placed into a cotton liner inside a wooden box and deposited into a WellFargo Bank Vault where it layed undisturbed for 126 and was just removed????

Check out a Vanguard Roth IRA.
I forgot to tell you about the '78-S I picked up at MidAmerica.
It is definitely some sort of presentation piece. No doubt about that.
It would really make me sick if it were a typo. If it isn't though, I'm sure everyone will hear lots about it in the media.
Could it be?

Actually they were described as perfect strikes of museum quality. I could be wrong, but I think the ANA grading video makes a brief mention of this in some fashion.

that coin was at the st louis 90 or 91 silver dollar convention graded pcgs ms68pl (too weak of rev to make dmpl but a full cameo it is)
As far as values go, I think you guys are just a bit high. I couldn't see a common date MS70 going for more than $250k or so. Of course, if you've got the pop 1/0 for the entire series, I guess you can always ask the moon!

Ngc lists 17 69's. Some are *
The coin thats listed as a 70 at pcgs is 78-s.
The next highest grade for that coin at either service is ms68.
Quite exciting this....

18 at MS67 and 1 at MS68 that is the 19. The one showing as MS70 has to be a mistake. If not whomever
made it could easily be a multi-millionaire.
Maybe we should ask David !!!

We need some help. No matter where we’ve looked (online or the printed version of April & July) we can not find where we list a MS 70 for this coin.
If someone is seeing it in a printed version, please let me know the page number so we can look in to this further.

<< <i>So are you saying that the one in the PCGS Guide to Grading and Counterfeit Detection isn't a 70, despite the fact that they describe it as such? I personally wouldn't call it a 70, since it isn't full white and appears to have some marks on the hair and other high points. >>
Well, not being full white doesn't prevent it from being MS-70, as the description says it's the same as it came from the dies "except for toning." So there is an allowance for toning in an MS-70 coin. As for the marks, assuming these aren't common to all Morgans -- if this particular die variety shows that all coins of that variety had the same marks, then it still *is* just as it came off of the dies, and would still be able to achieve MS-70 status. (Note also that the marks may be in the picture, or from a coin holder.)
Though in reality they are describing a *technical* MS-70. A flawless coin from the standpoint of hits and other post-strike imperfections could have a horrible strike, for example. And while it would be a *technical* MS-70 according to the standards you include here, I have no doubt that such "weak strike perfection" would get "market graded" much lower.
"As far as I know it's a typo. I believe I would have been told about a MS70 dollar if we did grade one. I'll check it out, but I'd bet money it's just a mistake.
Thanks,
David"
