The only reason someone would want a 70 over a 69 is probably for their PCGS registry set, and that is what will most likely drive the price up. People will be paying thousands and thousands of dollars over the price of an MS69 just so they can have a slightly higher ranking with their PCGS set. It is obsurd! >>
High grade moderns have been collected siunce before the registry sets were concieved.
Many of the high grade moderns do not appear in registry sets.
Don't be too sure that the only reason these coins are collected is for registry points.
Without a REG set system the demand for all post 1930 set coins would be a fraction of what they are today. Just my opinion. Rankings = points = demand = $$

I would guess that the opposite is true. These markets were going strong before the grading companies came along. One even refused to grade the coins for some time. Then when the registry sets were started there were no moderns at all in them at first.
I don't have a strong opinion on the effect on the '30 to '64 coins but the fact that mod- erns often never show up in registry sets would seem to contradict your statement.

This may be unfathomable to many around here but there are actually some people who would rather look at moderns than classics.
Isn't it true that only about a third of Lincolns graded are dated after 1964?
There are Morgans graded in the tens of thousands and many Ikes are in the hundreds. They may not always have time to get tired of grading Lincolns.
