joe_77 Valued Member Italy 284 Posts	Posted 04/13/2024 05:59 am Hello all, I'm trying to develop some grading skills and I am curious what grade you would give to this 100 yen coin I recently pulled out of circulation (it's from 2023 - R5). For reference, I found some graded examples (trying to build a photograde reference -- if you found more examples of lower grades please share!): MS61 - https://www.pcgs.com/cert/20141676 MS63 - https://www.pcgs.com/cert/46076809 MS65 - https://www.pcgs.com/cert/80293052 & https://www.pcgs.com/cert/39526190 MS66 - https://www.pcgs.com/cert/44252224 & https://www.pcgs.com/cert/44740612 MS67 - https://www.pcgs.com/cert/41450200 & https://www.pcgs.com/cert/47363320 MS68 - (no trueview photos) https://www.ebay.com/itm/154635163272 Here's the coin: Thank you very much for your opinion!

joe_77 Valued Member Italy 284 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 07:11 am Thank you IndianGoldEagle! I agree the specimen presented looks better than the MS63 in PCGS TrueView. I kind of struggle seeing differences between the MS65 and above Report this Post to the Staff
