Might be some kind of database anomaly, but I know some (if not all) of the online certified coin trading networks generally use MS1-MS70 and PF1-PF70 as a way of differentiating business strikes from proof coins in their database. This may just be PCGS catching up with that style of notation.

With hammered I can understand such things, but milled stuff?

I have the world's worst known uncirculated Australian 1939 6d, theoretically it could go MS50 I spose.

Sounds like the new help needs help.

After asking DH a qustion on the Q & A board, the grades get corrected.

The system works when the boss steps in.

IMHO, you should not have to have HRH step in. The job should be done right the 1st time! I have a bunch of Canadian that were SP coins come back MS, had to ship them back (at my expense) and wait another 5 weeks for them to get fixed. I can see one coin every once in a while getting screwed up. But these stupid errors have been coming out of PCGS a lot more frequently this year!
