PCGS tries to make up for undergrading U.S. coins by ridiculously overgrading Canadian coins. I can't tell you how many VF Canadian and Maritime coins I have seen PCGS slab high EF to mid-AU.


OH YEAH. I love those. I can't grade Canadian coins for crap, but I'm still better than them.

They are not in the year. That's crazy. That coin would have been ms-68rd if I was the grader.


I certainly feel 67 would have been fair, I doubt the plus, they're too stingy.

At least you got a nice photo from them. They did a good job on that.

Grape thought I'd fix the old photos in my post on a 1921 Morgan from the era right after ANACS started tightening up grades, I sent in around 40 coins at a local show in Fort Worth to be graded, most were nice VAMs and 8 TF dollars. This one I was so sure would come back at MS64+ or better yet...

So all the companies do it, and but you PCGS Lincoln Cent is not what I would expect from them and their cost of submissions. At least I only paid $10+ shipping one way to get... well you get the idea. LOL

Not sure how I missed this thread.

66RD

Have to say I don't know what PCGS didn't like about it. Must be the eye appeal doesn't match what we can see in the pictures.
