A grade is someones opinion period. If you disagree with the grade send it back to the dealer you bought it from. Today a lot of dealers who actually can not grade coins sell the slabs, for they are already graded (may not be right grade), this way they get a free ride. I am from the old school and their is no such think as a MS-70 coin. No coin is perfect. With today's minting standards most modern collector coins such as the eagles and commemoratives as well as mint and proof sets grade at least MS-67 throughMS-69 and are quite common. If they were rare the prices for them would be in the thousands of dollars. As an example an 1892-S Morgan dollar is $17. 50 in grade very good but in just MS-64 a dealer will pay close to $155,000 for it. back to your question if the coin was graded by one of the top gradinf firms, PCGS,NGC,ANACS or ICG they guarentee the grade so get in touch with them if the dealer will not take it back. Buying site unseen is still not a good idea unless from one of the grading services above. Even then I am not so sure sometimes. Hope this helps.
