Are grades that get a + as rare as it appears? Do they happen at all grades? Would there ever be a VG8+? Do you think Dr. Sheldon even considered the + grade being applied? If you have a choice between a straight grade but for a little more there is a + one at the same grade, would you go for it? Do you consider a + the same as a CAC bean?
Post the + graded ones you have. Lets test the spread from low to high.
Here is one I recently got while filling holes in my Registry Set.

XF-45 is currently the lowest grade that can receive a ‘+’.

Thanks. Good to know.
I have a PCGS MS64+ 1916-D Liberty Walker (Pop 596/21 in 64/64+) that did not receive a CAC bean (Pop 72 PCGS & NGC in 64). Of course, no reason given as to why not!

@CommemKing - You could be the "+" king too. Nice passel of pretty pleasing pluses. Thanks.
@CharlotteDude - The bean doubles down on the + grade. On such an early gold ? Absolutely amazing ! Thanks.
Here's a few:
@Swampboy - Jefferson is grinning for being on such a fine example of a + grade. A real beauty. Thanks.
@cointime - A superb Mercury. Dazzling by any standard. Full Bands jump out. Thanks.

Outstanding early gold.
@robec - Grading these with a + makes a lot of sense. They are all cent-sational !
@david3142 - You set the right tone with these + beauties. That mercury is a rainbow of toning.
@HighRelief - Plus Morgans leave us begging for more. These would impress anyone.
Thanks to all three of you for posting your + rarities.
I started a similar thread a couple of years ago. Lots of eye candy in that thread too.
These are all of the plus graded coins in my collection at the moment. Fun fact, I purchased them all raw.

My only + coin from Angel Dee's, the coin has such an amazing amount of blazing luster that even this pro photo (taken by Mark Goodman) cannot capture it fully.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
@Kyle - Great examples across denominations. I guess I didn't go back far enough with my search for an earlier threads. Sorry.
@coinbuf - A super display piece of a near perfect Lincoln Cent. Awesome does not adequately convey how nice this example is.
No need to apologize! It's been a few months since that thread has been active.

@ElmerFusterpuck - A hansom large cent if ever there was one. Very good color and details. It deserves the + grade.
@Walkerfan - Hold my beer while I get my sunglasses. Blazing white defined. These would dazzle anyone.
I honestly wonder what the difference is between an AU55+ and an AU58 coin?

@braddick - You will never discover the reasoning. "They" would probably say it's the experienced eye of the grader concluded after a 10 second deliberation it deserved a 55+ and not a 58.
@TNort17 - That has to be one of the best looking Walking Liberty's I have seen. Jaw dropping speechless.
Let's do a run of mirrored Morgans in 63+, 64+, and 65+:
WOW! Amazing coins that deserve the plus!!!!!

@david3142 - Deeeeep mirror. Very cool. Like floating on ice.
@BG Posts - You are covering all the bases with those. Small to large. All +.
@drddm - It's simply amazing how coins from way back then can still be + coins today. Nice !
Latin American Collection
One more...1814 E/A PCGS 63+
Think I only have a couple. And of those, I'm not sure I'm a good enough grader to split those hairs.
To me, it's a "whatever". This one looks like a 64 to me....and my 62+ Morgan looks like a 63. Flip a coin.
Heres my two. The 50-s is a 67+ and 54 is a 66+. For sale if anybody wants them.
@U1chicago - You got a nice one. Thanks
@Boosibri - First one posted in the 1700's. How in the heck was it kept so nice? They look a little like pirate booty.
@drddm - Toned just right. That could be the highlight of some ones collection.
@TommyType - I really like that reverse. Add a + and it's frosting on the cake.
@Josh32 - Good thing those weren't spent in a diner back in the early 50's. Here they are gracing your collection with great + grades.
Funny you say that, as I consider that 1814 E/A PCGS 63+ the highlight of my Capped Bust Half collection!

@JasonGaming - Nice toning. Thanks
@robec - The Mercury design is one of my favorites. These + examples show why.
@metalmeister - I'll accept the star as a + HaHaHa It's nice even from ATS. Like they say, judge the coin not the holder.
@Kccoin - Another nice + Walker. I never tire of this design. A classic.
@Catbert - Oh, a couple good ones. First Barber posted to this thread. Like the blue toning.
@NorCalJack - We need more Washington's like these + ones. Thanks.
