papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 5:48 pm A question has been asked on another coin forum that I belong to but we need help from more knowledgeable people on Mint Product. The question was how do you tell the grade of these coins as most are PF-66 with a few PF-68 showing up and considered to be gems and very few ever reaching the ultimate grade of PF-70. Now I thought that all Proof coins are supposed to be perfect coins with no fluctuation in grades especially 4 points from normal to PF-70? Is there a way to tell and why are there only a few PF-70 being the perfect coin when they are all supposed to be perfect. All opinions are welcome thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 9:27 pm You can't compare TPG to TPG as they have different ranges of what they will give. Nothing humans make is perfect. So expecting it, and especially assigning it, seems a bit silly. ICCS grades PF-67 for the common, and PF-68 for the more exceptional. I don't know if they have ever given a PF-69.

Adorus Valued Member Canada 299 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 9:44 pm I wanna send a few NCLT coins to NGC like the 2007 gold platted rattle or the 2007 wedding dollar as they are with a very low mintage and mine seems to be " perfect " without any color change or anything on it ... But I still cannot understand as I've seen one of those that also seemed pretty decent without any defects and it came as a pf-66 :/ Report this Post to the Staff
MJT Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 9:48 pm Typically mint Products would come in pf-68 to pf-70. All depends if there are any faint scratch marks on coin surface no matter how small there are. Report this Post to the Staff
