that someone could submit a U.S.Mint 5 coin proof set and achieve PCGS PR-70 on all 5 coins?
What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    If PCGS slabs 1 in 250 as 70DCAM, then the odds are 250 to the fifth power.

    As far as the question at hand, I would agree with Lincolncentman...

    I would say: No chance whatsoever.

    Statistically the odds are so overwhelming that it simply can't happen. In real life though,
    mint workers do some astounding things. I've seen lots of mint sets that defy the odds.
    There is a '68 mint set with all superb gems. A couple of the coins may be as good as they
    get. The odds of a set like this coming together through chance are far greater than the
    number produced. I've seen a few great proof sets but nothing close to all '70's, but then
    I don't look at a lot of proof sets.
