    Excellent Bear... best full set grading I have heard so far - congratulations... Cheers, RickO

    Congrats Bear! You really beat the odds on that submission. Those MS70 coins are grading out MS70 in roughly (1) case out of every 5-10 sets. Throw in a REV PROOF 70 as well - SWEET!

    It wasn't apparent that the coins were 70s? image Congratulations, Bear, and I hope that more pleasant shocks come your way!

    Yep, that MS70 is the sleeper key to the set. The RP's and regular proofs are a 1/2 proposition between 69/70, the MS is a 1/8 or 1/9.
