How often do you find MS 68, 69 and 70 coins that are ugly?

We hear comments quite often about slabbed coins grading MS65, 66 and even 67 being described as ugly for various reasons [toning, lack of luster, weakly struck, etc.].
How about slabbed coins grading out at MS68, 69 and 70 [not including one that have turned ugly in the slab due to being doctored before slabbing]. Have you seen any such coin that you would consider ugly?
In answering the question, please exclude coins which are ugly due to a horrible design [like some of the state quarters, the flat relief stringy hair coins of today and some commemoratives].

Actually, I should get one of these and put fingerprints all over it.
As far as your original question...coins that aren't by themselves ugly...but they seem to get hit with the ugly stick when slabbed...
That would be the American Silver Eagle. No doubt about it.
It's like a blank canvas for Ugly Paint.

<< <i>There are three MS68 trade dollars that have been graded by PCGS. Two of them I own [see below]. The third, just wasn't pretty at all. Ugly might be a bit far fetched, but it certainly is within the realm of descriptive words one might utter upon seeing the coin.

I would say MOST of the time... considering 68 is a grade that can be found on coins such as the beauts that TDN posted...
As for the 69 and 70 grade... they are almost completely reserved for Modern "crap"...
I "strongly dislike" Modern "crap" (hate is such a strong and ugly word)
