submitted 1961 proof nickle for grading to pcgs it was my free submition.
i specified grade pr 70 for minimum grade.
i looked at my status and its in the mail.
the grade said m/g .
does that mean that they accepted my 70 grade?
it kind of sound like they indeed gave it a 70 mark.
that would give this coin a pop of 1 cross fingers.
I susspect m/g stands for minimum grade. if they graded it m/g does that not mean the grade reached the minimum of 70? .
they did list the m/g under grade. and not a n for no grade.
also wouldnt a ms 70 nickle have full steps?
then it should come back 70 fs

I find this very hard to believe. If it's actually true you wasted your time and postage and gave PCGS a dumbfounded laugh.
You could submit 1,000 proof 1961 nickels and you'll NEVER get a 70.
I've got a '61 in PR69 and another in PR68. The PR69 is a perfect coin as far as I can tell and I've seen very few others, never seen one that had better eye appeal.
Specifying a minimum grade is not for low end coins like a 1961 nickel. Specifying a grade of 70 is a sure fire way to have it returned ungraded.

Nope, bought em slabbed several years ago and they've appreciated quite well for what I originally paid. Modern crap, I know.
