No PCGS 67s in the Heritage Archives. There is a NGC 68 20 Centavos that went for $1,140 - I would think the three PCGS 67+ 50 Centavo coins would start in that range:
And finally, here are the 3 coins that graded 67+. All phenomenal, each with a slightly different appearance.
Cert: 36694125
Grade: MS67+
This one is the most colorful of the 3 top pops. Really pretty.

This coin is my favorite of the whole group. Funny that it was the last coin graded. Makes me wonder if they held it aside to debate giving it a 68. If I had to choose one, this is the coin. Above average strike, super lustrous, pretty toning.

I am confused why that last 67+ is not a 68. What am I missing from a technical grading standpoint and not having the coin in hand with a loupe?
Perhaps what looks like a small hit in the left obverse field?

Those are lovely coins. My dad gave me this group of AU's. Only ones with S mintmark are the 5 Centavos, rest are D mint.

The one 67 in the Trueview inventory is quite a looker!
Dang, that IS nice. Wish i could have shot these coins raw instead of through the plastic. I'll post the three 67+'s tomorrow.

For sure, that last one is the best. Very clean, and best strike of the group. Quite a prize.

The strike on *143 is very nice. Great coin, I agree, the best of the lot.
Very nice,
Hoard the keys.

I would comment about the difference between a 67+ and a 68 but I am still trying to grasp between a 66 an a 67+
