One of the three 1914F One Mark coins graded 67 plus, the other was a 67 followed by a 66 plus
The 1907D One Mark had PVC issues so I missed that.
I was pleased that out of the three Mexico One Peso coins, 1943, 1945 and 1934, the 1943 graded 67 and the 45 graded 66 followed by the 34 which graded 65.
The 1894 Canada Cent graded 64RB which was what I was thinking
1955 Quarter graded PL64- I missed the boat on that one.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Great and rare coin, but am just curious: How does the TPG differentiate between 66 and 67? It has always bugged me what the difference would be ?? could be?? or should be?
Great eye, coinkat. Lovely luster on that 67+ gem. So bright I need sunglasses
YQQ, are you asking in regards to this specific type? or grading in general? I guess generally speaking each increase in grade is a decrease of deductions against a perfect score ... Perhaps easier to start at perfect and make deductions for each blemish, than to start at zero and work your way up the ladder? That's how I always imagined a professional grader distinguishing between 70, 69, 68, 67, and 66.
Between 65 and 66 is often quite obvious and many times, from 66 to 67 but above that it's often just a tiny mark or hairline scratch. IMO, of course.
YQQ- reasonable question. We can look at the other two that were 66 plus and 67TextText
Both are attached. Please take a look. I suspect the slightest chatter is enough to make the difference in grades. I suppose the other question is what is the difference between 67 plus and 68

1- Click on the image in the cert verification page to increase its size 2- Right click on the big image and click "copy image address" or you simply copy paste the url at the browser after the big image shows up 3- Click on the 4th little box from left (and not the 5th that gives you that deadful "Text" erase the "http://" in the little window and paste the url from the big image in it instead.
I swear, after 12 years of waiting, I'll have a giveaway the day that you post your first image.
I have no mouse for the lap top... I appreciate your patience and humor. I have a dream that one day I will see that little box thing you are describing so I do this. Look at the bright side- at least the text made it here and lets all be thankful that our host has a photographer that takes pictures so relieve me of that daunting task.
the text is for the ONE MARK that is 66 plus

My dream came true... after looking carefully at the screen and applying my technical skills (that thankfully no one else shares) I was able to follow Dimitri's excellent instruction
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
And this is the 67- so all three are now up so you can see the difference in the grade.
Thanks again Dimitri- I think you have earned another DPOTD for making this possible and proving to the numismatic community that you can teach an old dog a new trick

As for technical skills, I'm far from being an example: I have yet to try to take a digital image of a coin. All I know is to upload them, wether from PCGS' site or an image hosting website such as photobucket. These boards have an alternative way for posting pictures too (I believe a Litesider used to have it in his sigline -"posting pictures 101"-), back in the dial up days,and mostly for low resolution images that do not exceed 50KB. We all learn new tricks one way or another. I was copying texts word per word for 18 months, until I realized that I could simply copy and paste them about a decade ago or more..
I've gotta come up with a nice giveaway now. Come to think of it, we used to have way more giveaways before, but some members still have a great way of surprising me by sending gifts quietly and without any publicity. To all these friends, a big thank you!
And again, congratulations to you Bob, the discerning unfocused collector with impeccable taste and great grading skills! The "Text" link is the second most useful trick and you've learned that too: by clicking on it, you redirect the reader to whichever webpage that you want, and you can even switch the word "Text" by something more appropriate or more to your liking.
Just so there is no misunderstanding, the pictures are part of the PCGS secure submission. And these pictures turned out well- A special thanks to our host's photographer.
One other note- these coins are submitted and posted for fun as well as to illustrate that this does not have to be an expensive hobby... world coins offer something for everyone

Thanks fellow for trying o explain the grading differences in high grades. am not looking for an argument on this one. It could lead to an endless discussion of ifs and buts . But what if the grader, or several graders together trying to come to a final result, have each a different opinion of what constitutes a blemish? or what should or should not be there or is missinmg? yes , I know , we should just except it, as we have asked for the TPG's opinion only. And paid a lot of money for it.
