Did PCGS really grade 5 1972-S 1c in MS-68RD?

Or are these coins PR-68? This is a tough date to get slabbed in
MS-66/+ grades.

Where are you seeing that?

The pop report shows 14 in 67RD and 5 in 68RD??? So I guess they did. May have been mechanical errors. I have the sole MS69 1968-S Jefferson, guess what it really is. Was this recent that the pop report went up?

I noticed this about two weeks ago when viewing Registry sets of
Lincoln Memorial Cents. Then, today, I renewed my on-line Pop-
ulation Report subscription and confirmed the number.

This figure could be an input error by PCGS, similar to the 1982-D
Kennedy 50c which lists a pop=8 in MS-68. Many think the number '8'
is an input error and should be added to the 1982-D
George Washington Commemorative 50c MS-68 total.

Also, a few years ago, PCGS listed a lone 1981-S SBA $1 graded in
MS-68 when the highest grade was MS-66. SBA followers quickly
noticed this and notified PCGS. No MS-68 was graded and outsiders
thought this was likely a PR-68 specimen. PCGS made the necessary
correction.
