Does anyone know of any other foreign coin to ever hit 70 either in MS or PR? or? are these the first?
I've been trying for about a year now without any luck.
I sure could use a few Canadian 70's for my sets.
Twenty of the 600 coins merited a designation of PCGS PR-70, eleven £5 and nine £2 gold pieces, and 573 others were graded PCGS PR-69. PCGS experts were impressed with the extremely high level of quality, attesting both to the excellence of the British Royal Mint's products that are specially-struck for collectors and to the superb preservation of the delicate proof surfaces of the coins in their protective packaging after many years in the market place.

Hahaha, but I wouldnt have it any other way.
hahaha.
I havent even taken into account the over 2000 coins I just got back,not to mention the 100's of raw coins I look at a week.
Trust me it's not easy keeping track of every last coin, we're working with the bar codes on the slab to keep better track of everything.
If I have three or four blue PCGS empty boxes laying around the house my wife gets ticked...
I just caught that, well my better half helps out, she too gets ticked with the blue boxes in the kitchen, but hey it pays the bills, I also have green ones kicking around.
