I give up - pr69 vs pr70 08w Buffalo - whats the difference????

Prethen

Typically the only difference is the cost. In my book, if you can really see the difference, then it's likely that one of the coins is overgraded.

I wouldn't buy a 70 unless I could see a big difference..............from two feet away! Line all them 69's and 70's up and I'd pick the one with the deepest mirrors and the thickest frost, if it's in the bunch. If not, someone's buying the plastic. Like someone said, there's no such thing as perfection but the extremes of a quality should be easily noticable when comparing one coin to another. Again, if it can't be seen then why make an issue out of something that's not visibly there/notable. Depending on the form of manufacture MS67's should come 1000 to 1, MS68's 10,000 to 1, MS69's 100,000 to 1, MS70's a million to one!

Buy we're not seeing that happening at all!

trying to buy a 70 in any buffalo today is going to cost ya big.

but i always buy when they first come out , before something happens. like this year.

There is no difference. Graders flip a coin, hopefully not the one there grading.

Experiment, crack out a 70 and submit, it may come back a 69.

I prefer a 9, why pay for a 70, just MHO.

I just paid to have them graded it wasn't my fault a few of them scored. Sometimes it seems like people are castigated for having a high grade coin around here. Not all of us BUY them, FYI

(I took the liberty to correct a word in your post, but cherrypickers will likely be the only ones to notice)

Oh, and my previous post is not pertaining to 2008 Gold Proof Buffaloes, to which this thread is specifically addressed. Sorry to go off topic, sort of.

Not much difference between the two.........they both wish they were the UNC -W Buffalo.

How different is this from saying that "we" (oddly enough a group which doesn't include me) wanted 70 coins to exist (gee, I wonder why?), so "we" defined them into existence by changing the definition?
