  As far as Early Commems. go (this is the area I know the most about) I would say the difference is in the originality of the surface in many cases--------------BigE

  In Morgan dollars there is a difference. In the simplest terms, I think a 66 can only have trivial marks in trivial places, and a 67 just has the look of being even cleaner. PCGS has graded 10 Morgans in 69, and side by side I'd bet a third of those would drop down to 68. PCGS has graded a whopping 369 Morgans in ms68. Given how tough it is to make a Morgan 67, 369 seems like a lot of 68s (the 79-s, 80-s and 81-s account for nearly all of the 68s).

  I brake for ear bars.

  There is a diference when it comes to Lincolns, the O in one on the rev must be fully struck for PCGS to even consider it for 67. There is a difference between a PCGS 67 and an NGC 67 also, many NGC 67 Lincolns will drop to 66 at PCGS as NGC is a bit more lax on strike.
  
  Perhaps its just what I've seen but I find that PCGS values a full stike with blazing luster and will forgive a couple of hits. Where NGC will forgive a weak strike and favors blazing luster and super clean surfaces.

  My WAG is Lustre and Contact Marks.

  Outstanding luster (should be) a must for a 67 coin. Oftentimes it is not however. I think that contact marks in obvious areas can prevent a 67 grade, but marks are often times given too much weight.

  Absolutely a difference WHICH I didn't see going in, .... AND, thought were all 67/68's going in.... it kind of lends credence to what HRH says: ''ownership adds a point !"
  MS66 Reverse 09244362
