oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 02/13/2014 8:53 pm Hey everyone Just got a quick question in terms of PCGS grading and strike. On their grading standards table here http://www.pcgs.com/grades.html For MS65 they state that a coin must have an above average strike is that definitive as in MS65 graded Australian coins have above average strike full stop or will they give it an ms65 if the surfaces are 66 and the strike is 64. Sorry if it sounds silly but I am still learning about the way PCGS works. Thanks in advance everyone P.s. I think I have been told this is one of the reasons why Australian copper is very hard to find in 65 by Belly but can't remember exactly what it was or if I have had to little sleep lol Report this Post to the Staff

wwwww Pillar of the Community Australia 541 Posts	Posted 02/13/2014 10:46 pm It's one of the reasons Perth copper is hard in MS65, it's far harder to get MS65 surfaces in Perth copper though. The hardest part is that you need both MS65 surfaces and an MS65 strike to make MS65. Other than those and a few later Sydney mint strikes, almost all other Australian coins are struck to an MS65 level. Report this Post to the Staff
