  PQ is Premium Quality, often used if a coin would be on the brink of a grade. Example: MS64PQ would be close to a 65.

  PQ = overused but occasionally accurate term to describe a coin which is "premium quality" for the grade.
  
  POR = if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

  Ever see those ads where every other coin is described as PQ?
  
  I often wondered how that dealer got so lucky to get rid of the dogs but keep the PQ coins JUST FOR THAT AD
  
  Skill, I suppose.

  Have a nice day
