My old eyes can only see a very fine contact between the bot of the N & E in ONE and really next to no other touches..
The surfaces are really beautiful and free of marks..
Am I allowed to say PCGS MS 65 RB..?
Maybe ICCS would have called this one ...MS 64.."Lustrous Brown"

PCGS 64 Brown. Nice surfaces, but the strike isn't full enough to be a gem.

Dev came the closest- It came back as MS65BN, the coin has almost no marks anywhere...Here's another question, it seems like everyone thinks that ICCS grades much stricter on Canadian, and while I completely agree in lower grades, I've found personally that in MS grades, PCGS is stricter. I'm only going by like 8 MS coins I purchased in ICCS holders and broke out to submit to PCGS, but each one of those coins came back either the same as ICCS or a point lower, and on the large cents, it seems like PCGS is stricter on the color designations...

ICCS will never grade a brown cent, large or small, higher than MS-64 - even if the coin is perfect. The single flaw in their "technical grading" philosophy...
I was going to guess MS-66 brown, because the fields are superb, but I was waiting for bosox to take a guess, since he knows the series so darned well.

SPP..Can you still technically call it MS 66 when our eyes see the fine contacts here between the N E and
N T ..?
Just wondering here...

Go look at some of the coins in the PCGS set registry...

My..My...Times have certainly changed from the different grading standards that I witnessed from the 80's....
But I haven't spent much time in coin shops or shows and I haven't had the chance to examine many coins,.. other than my own,.. and that really is a small sample compared to the 'regulars' here that are handling many a year...
I can better understand why so many want to run to PCGS........

I'm looking to send two coins to PCGS. Who do you go through to get them there?
