macdon Valued Member Canada 495 Posts	Posted 02/07/2013 9:17 pm Im getting a little confused on grades of coins and need some help. Is a MS 65 the same as a PL66 grade, there certainly is a differnce in value in some books I use for reference ? An American source informed that they are the same which adds more confusion to the pot.... Report this Post to the Staff

Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 02/07/2013 9:56 pm For Canadian coins, MS grades are used for business strike coins (Circulation) and PL grades are used for coins that are made for collectors (In sets, etc). With American coins, for example a coin can be MS-65 PL because they use PL (and DMPL) for reflectivity of the coins surfaces. Coins that were not intended for circulation, with American coins are graded PR, or PF. I hope that clears it up. to CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
