Question for the best modern coin grader on this forum with experience submitting to PCGS

Coin Finder

I have not a clue how to grade the states quarters. Particularly the Wisconsin D mint leaf variety. Can anyone tell me the basic difference between a MS 63, 64, 65 and 66 in this very narrow states quarters group?

Thanks

The MS 66's look nicer than the 63's, 64's, and 65's.

It's like grading any modern. I'm not a pro but here is something:

MS64 - A fair amount of marks and broken up luster especially on the high points of the coin
MS65 - Less marks more luster
MS66 - Only a small amount of small nicks (maybe 4 to 5 including reverse and obverse) - The luster appears to be almost a double cartwheel (the luster looks almost like an X). Coin should look fairly clean
MS67 - max probably 2 nicks and they have to be small and not on the main design. THe luster looks like a double cartwheel (an X) . Clean Look
MS68 - 1 teeny tiny nick at most and solid double cartwheel of luster. Blast luster!
MS69 - Ha. Good luck. Unless it's an ASE or a lincoln these are hard to impossible to find. I imagine almost perfect in every way.
MS70 - You can't see it. You would go blind!

Good answer, F117ASR. Thanks.

thebigeng, for what it's worth, my experience the past 8 weeks has been PCGS has really tightened up on moderns (post '64).
I've had 4 submissions come back with 1964 to current coins and compared to similar submissions last year, these recent ones got clobbered.

I think I know where the one post was coing from. It took me awhile to get use to the dry sense of humor on this board and now I'm use to it but at first it can be offensive. I think he is rrfering to the first or second reply.

In a vaccuum, I can't tell if a SQ is a 64, 65, or 66. But I can tell what looks better than others. Take a roll or two, and order them by eye appeal. The ones at the high end will most likely be your 65s and 66s.
