I'm posting these as a group since all the coins are similar, and all but the dollar are a set...I think it will be really fun to see who gets the closest to getting them all right. These are fresh from PCGS and I am very happy with them all... PCGS treated them fairly, and I agree with the grades across the board...although I might push my luck and send the quarter in for reconsideration in the future. Don't cheat by looking up the cert numbersand if you go to check the plate coins on the PCGS site.. prepare to have your fun spoiled. I'll post the results after the thread loses steam or after a couple days... whichever comes first

Just based on your previous posts and coins, I'm going to say SP-67 cam or dcam for all of them.

The quarter is probably 'only' SP66 ;)

Absolutely beautiful coins.
Thanks for sharing.

I won't attempt to grade them.
PCGS had the advantage of seeing them in hand, and Truview is certainly a misnomer as I seriously doubt that any of the coins have black fields.

Pretty tough to grade these individually from pics provided. Agree they all look about the same, 67 seems fair enough.

That 1-cent looks similar to mine, and probably graded PR-67 CAM... (but I still like mine better)

The 25c looks incredible, I would not be surprised that one got a PR-68 CAM or even DCAM grade.

Actually DBM, I found that they did really well with the trueviews in this submission and didn't really over embellish any toning or cameo contrast. The 1965 SP/PF coins are some of the most well prepared strikes I've ever seen and match the quality of modern mint issues.

Thanks for all the guesses everyone! And SPP, you were absolutely right on both guesses..our cents are pretty much tied but I believe yours has a small advantage over mine as far as eye appeal

These coins all came from Sandy, with the cent being 66CAM, the nickel being 66DCAM, the dime being 66CAM, the quarter being 67CAM, and the 1966 dollar being an extremely old ICCS SP-67. The 1965 half dollar came from another dealer though, originally being an extremely old ICCS PF-66 cameo..and yes I mean PF, not SP as you'd normally see them call these coins.
