Poll: Which modern series is "easiest" to score in PR-70?

RGL

Gads, I can't figure out the poll function .. oh well, guesses welcomed, numbers at the ready. No peeking at pops, now ...

Gold commemoratives. I see more of them in PR-70 than any other series.

Ones I don't have

I agree with Bill, except when I send them in they come back PR68.

Without even checking, I'm going to say Roosevelt Dimes.

The smaller the surface area of the coin - the less chance for problems to be found

I'd have to go with Roosie Dimes as well. Been having good luck with Sacagewa's though.

Half dollars: 2,448
Dimes: 1,953
Silver Eagles: 1,828
Nickels: 981
Cents: 906
Gold (all denominations): 859
Platinum (all denominations): 441
Sacs: 186

I would have to guess that there has been a lot more quarters and halves submitted for grading then dimes though. So if you were referring to making a 70 yourself, I would still have to agree with the others that said the Roosie. If buyingone already made, then well, you numbers speak for themself.

Out of curisity how many Ikes have slabbed 70? I haven't checked in quite some time since I quit collecting them.

Is there a relative measure? e.g.: 3,937 PR70 quarters out of 20,000k total proof quarters submitted

tlhoy

Quarters: 3,937........total graded 291417
Half dollars: 2,448....total graded 162402
Dimes: 1,953............total graded 91908
Nickels: 981..............total graded 97753
Cents: 906................total graded 64289
Sacs: 186..................total graded 22927

Do SAEs count for these purposes?

ChuckC...Good point, you have to factor in the total amount graded.

Depends on what grading service you are using. PCI seems to have a 20 to 1 as far as I can see for PR70 and MS70's
