I rec'd my War Vets and Boy Scout BU dollars within 10 days of ordering them.
Both appear to be MS70, since I can't seem to spot a single flaw on them under 10X magnifcation. Well done, US Mint.

Sell 'em for a killing! Buy others (maybe MS67ish) and be happy with those, and a few extra bucks in your wallet. Or, keep 'em and enjoy the heck out of 'em!!!

To make a killing, you have to get PCGS to slab them as MS70+ _and_ get a CAC sticker to indicate they aren't below average MS70+ coins. /sardonic (Yes, PCGS does have a spot on its price grid for MS70+.) -- Mike Benveniste -- (Clarification Required) Its name is Public opinion.

Then, of course, you have to have a MS70+ with a CAC sticker. What a load of bull****...

I believe it's going to kick off on April 1, 2011.

Hey, Bruce! Good to see another familiar name - I guess there ARE still some people still around from when I used to read/post! You, Reid, Mike B., James (Mr. Jaggers), Alan Bruns......wonder how many others! I guess I gotta read up on that 100-pt grading crap. Not that it matters that much to me, per se, but I should at least know what it's all about. Eric Babula

As far as I know, the 100-point deal is defunct, as it was not received well by dealers. And PCGS would not likely be investing in this new "plus grading" scheme of theirs if they thought it was going to be supplanted any time soon. But, who knows, ya gotta have a gimmick, so anything is possible. James, Marveling Daily at New Wonders
