CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 5:09 pm I think PCGS really did a bad job with this one. They graded it MS66, and comparing it to their other examples, this coin was clearly very undergraded. My coin(MS66)- PCGS MS68 example- PCGS MS67 example- Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 5:47 pm PCGS had the advantage of seeing these coins in hand, but from the pics it's obvious that the strike quality of the 68 is far superior to that of the 66. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 6:25 pm I agree w/66. Comparing it to a 68 is a reach, imo. One thing I did notice, the PCGS 66 example has a scratch over the E in CENTS. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 6:26 pm It should be a 67, not strong enough for a 68 Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3179 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 11:24 pm The detail in the hair on the 68 is the difference. Edited by Tunnioc 11/07/2019 11:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 11/08/2019 12:04 am The 68 is clearly the superior coin of them all. Without being able to rotate the coin under light it appears it was limited by the cheek and possibly luster quality. 68 is out of the question but I don't think anyone would really argue against a 67. That said PCGS has been tight for a long time now Report this Post to the Staff
