A big round of applause goes out to D.M.H. for being the first collector to assemble a 100% PR70DCAM set or Proof Statehood Quarters!

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
That is impressive. Over the years I've probably submitted over 100 SHQ proofs and never made one 70

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
WOW my a$$ Does anyone really care ?
Is there really a difference between a 69 and a 70 ?
Is this the future of Numismatics ?

My Wow stands.

While there may be a few more impressive sets, this one inarguably required a great deal of work to assemble. Anyone who thinks such a set is easily done just needs to try to make one coin.
I find it pretty impressive.
After I read your comment about the future of Numismatics I was left pondering that phrase. What do you really mean? Is the future laced with nothing but PR70DCAM's until the mint stops making coins, and that one should stop wasting hard earned $$$ on the high # of generic modern top pops? Obviously there IS a difference between 69 and 70. I wish I knew really what that was. Some of us kid ourselves in thinking that WE KNOW what the difference is. I don't.
You own the lone 1919 MS69RD Lincoln do you not? What is the difference between that coin and the dozen or so MS68RD's? I know I'm comparing apples to oranges, but you will have to excuse my dumbness, because I do not own a single Lincoln and wouldn't know the difference. I would bet that it is a miniscule difference. But you would rather own the 69 instead of the 68 right?
I think that it is a crowning acheivement that one could even locate that many PR70DCAM's to assemble a complete set. Some of those coins have a pop of 2 or 3 total.

P.S. I care otherwise I would not have started this post.

I completely agree with you that I can't tell the difference between a 69 and a 70.What I've heard and read on the "Conversations with HRH David Hall" was that one to two percent of modern coins will grade Proof 70.I believe he means coins from post 1990 or something like that.
I bought three short rolls of 1919 Lincoln cents.There were about 70 coins that graded ms 65,66,67,68 and 69. I graded approximately one ms 65,twenty ms 66,35 ms 67,14 ms 68 and one ms 69.I can tell you there is a distinct difference between the ms 69 and the ms 68's.There is also a difference within the ms 68's and the ms67's.I am probably the only one who has seen most all of the high grade 1919 cents.I consider myself an expert on 1919 Lincoln cents.I also own an ms 68 as well as two ms 67's.
I think modern coins are mostly perfect and look the same.Try and find a collection of Proof 65 or Proof 66 State quarters.Are you reading me Paul ?

Surely when you say "moderns" you are referring only to some specific proofs. Try to
find a 1979 Lincoln in MS-69 or even MS-66.
Yes I totally get your point, but if you check the pop reports, there are PR66DCam's through PR68DCAM's for alot of modern proofs.
If HRH HALL states that roughly 2% of all moderns submitted should be PR70DCAM, then why didn't Relayer receive (2) 70's out of his 100 or so SHQ's that he sent in?
By the way, you need to by more short rolls of early Lincolns! Nice score!

Nothing like being the first there, the best anyone else can do is tie you for it, but your first anyway.
