DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 12:34 pm Grades on the Sheldon scale can go as high as MS70 . NGC seems to give such lofty grades quite freely. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 09/29/2013 12:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 1:26 pm Thanks. I keep forgetting the coins in the US grade differently. What would a US MS68 be compared to an ICCS number? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 2:10 pm That coin looks like it came from an Ottawa PL-set... I have a couple ICCS MS-68, NBU coins and a set of PF-68 nickel dollars. PCGS does use MS-68 for business strikes, but the coin better be darn near perfect... I have a couple of MS-67 PCGS nickel dollars...

Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 2:47 pm So an NGC MS67 would be the same as ICCS67? A 68-70 would be superior quality to ICCS 67? Report this Post to the Staff
tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 867 Posts	Posted 09/29/2013 2:50 pm From my limited experience submitting previously graded coins to ICCS, ICCS will probably grade the NGC coin lower......MS68 is close to perfection, and I bet ICCS feels more comfortable with a 67 or lower grade, just on principle.
