Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 09/29/2012 2:06 pm What was, in the history of PCGS, the highest grade used for any circulation coin? Were there anything higher than MS 68 for circulation coins? Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/29/2012 2:36 pm I just quickly looked at mostly the modern U.S coins and according to the population reports, 2 non SMS 1994-P nickels were deemed perfect. There is a small grouping of coins that were graded MS-69 including an amazing 1793 Wreath cent. Edited by D0ubl3Eagle 09/29/2012 2:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 09/29/2012 11:52 pm MS69PL. PL means prooflike whereas MS stands for uncirculated bussiness strike. Is MS69PL a coin that was meant for both of these strikes? Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 12:15 am There are at least 16 1939-D Mercury dimes graded MS69FB. PL coins are circulation strikes that were struck by dies that were fresh and shiny giving them a proof-like finish. Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 1:43 pm Therefore PL must be different than specimen? Report this Post to the Staff
cc99999 Pillar of the Community United States 1302 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 8:41 pm they graded a Lincoln Cent MS-70. It sold for over $10,000 developed spots in the holder and was downgraded to 69. PCGS had to buy it back. Report this Post to the Staff
SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 12:04 am @Petersun - Aye, proof-like is merely a quality of a business strike coin, rather than actually being an actual proof strike with proof dies, or a specimen strike (which is a catch-all for anything other than business or proof strike). :-) Report this Post to the Staff
