...... and I just received the results from a group of Swiss coins I sent to PCGS . . . and, this time it only took 90 days from doorstep to doorstep (last year it was 126 days 
). Maybe David should hire me to ease the workload in the grading room!! 
I finally "made" a piece of Swiss copper in 67, in fact, three of 'em. Plus, five more MS/SP68s to go with the three from last year.....not bad, I s'pose for a one-eyed church mouse.
Here's my list and a few of the coins which I imaged before shipping to Calif. The grades in ( ) were from my notes before I shipped out . . maybe they'll show by tomorrow.
1 1908 B 1 Rap SWISS MS66RD
2 1917 B 1 Rap SWISS MS67RD
3 1917 B 1 Rap SWISS MS67RD
4 1939 B 1 Rap SWISS MS66RD
5 1879 B 2 Rap SWISS MS64RB
6 1883 B 2 Rap SWISS MS65RD
7 1893 B 2 Rap SWISS MS64RB
8 1938 B 2 Rap SWISS SP67RD
9 1876 B 5 Rap SWISS MS66
10 1893 B 5 Rap SWISS MS67
11 1918 B 5 Rap Brass SWISS MS67
12 1919 B 5 Rap SWISS MS67
13 1933 B 5 Rap SWISS SP66
14 1939 B 10 Rap SWISS MS66
15 1898 B 1/2 Fr SWISS MS67
16 1920 B 1/2 Fr SWISS MS68
17 1943 B 1/2 Fr SWISS SP68
18 1944 B 1/2 Fr SWISS SP68
19 1945 B 1/2 Fr SWISS SP67
20 1920 B 1 Fr SWISS MS67
21 1928 B 1 Fr SWISS MS66
22 1936 B 1 Fr SWISS MS68
23 1947 B 1 Fr SWISS SP67
24 1939 B 2 Fr SWISS MS66
25 1940 B 2 Fr SWISS SP66
26 1951 B 5 Fr SWISS SP68
1917 1 Rappen - PCGS MS67RD
1928 1 Franc - PCGS MS66
The 1928 is posted per syraq's request and is instructive as to what separates the 66 from a 68 coin. Note that the 1936 has fields which are virtually free of any marks, and they are also very semi-PL, hence the darker patterns in the images. The 1928 is a typical frosty coin but with the barest bit of chatter for and aft of Helvetia. There are a more frost breaks on the 1928, whereas the 1936 has creamy velvet frost even over the highpoints. The 1936 franc has one light tick on the cross, otherwise they may have gone MS69 on this coin. Also of note, the 1928 has frost breaks on the reverse denom. and the date and a light tick on the "F" of Franc.

Mac, those are some fine looking Swiss pieces! Congrads on the coppers in 67 and to all the other fine grades. 90 days as opposed to 126 days last time?....hey they were 36 days faster this time but still a bit of a wait

Thank you Mac. But the reality is, I wanted to see the 1951 B 5 Fr SWISS SP68, ie #26, not 21.
