These were submitted for sets I have and some for sale. My grade estimate is aside each coin and comments are below each coin. Fell free to laugh at the misses!!!

2 21629832 1992-D 5C USA MS65FS---MS66FS
3 21629833 1996-D 5C USA MS65FS---MS66FS
I'll have to look these over closely. I tend to screen Jeff's pretty well and these dates aren't difficult to find.
4 21629834 2004-D 5C Peace Medal USA MS66---MS66
This was a mark free coin I pulled from two rolls shortly after they were issued. Nice and frosty luster.
5 21629835 1976 25C Clad USA MS65---MS66
I continue to be unable to holder an MS66 Washington!!! This coin is pristine.
6 21629836 1965 50C USA Artificial Color---??????
A submission I made for my neighbor. He refuses to listen and thinks anything with pretty color will holder.
7 21629837 1976 50C Clad USA MS64---MS66
Very nice blue-gray toning will fill a hole nicely regardless of the grade.
8 21629838 1978 50C USA MS64---MS66
9 21629839 1978-D 50C USA MS66---MS66
Both the 78's look identical and came from a folder with wonderful multi-color bullseye tone.
10 21629840 1971-D $1 USA MS65---MS66
I have a few more of these and they all look the same with pretty blue-gray rim tone. They all seem to grade the same, too!!! DOH.
11 21629841 1972 $1 Type 1 USA AU58---MS63
What the..........have I ascended to HisMadnesses throne???? Woe is me.
12 21629842 1968-S 50C USA PR68DC---PR69DCAM
13 21629843 1969-S 50C USA PR69DC---PR69DCAM
As with lines 8-9, these two were indistinguishable from one another, black and white monsters.

Not completely indistinguishable. The 1968-S has a much lower pop and much higher market value in 69DCAM. Not that I think PCGS would ever consider that when granting the grade.

I wouldn't feel too bad about the Ike either. Rub is almost impossible to see on a coin you'd grade 63 anyway. Usually, the Eagle head is the tell.
and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor

the thing with those '72 Ikes is the bag marks added to the planchet flaws that show through any toning. i know the area you're talking about, that high wing/head area almost dead center on the reverse. this Ike has nice luster, evidentally they thought it circulated for a short period.
one point missed grades don't mean a whole lot, mainly it just shows a difference of opinion between two observers which is miniscule. what happens that sucks is when that one point is viewed in the sense that Russ alluded to, where market grading adds up to $$$$$$.
