Scarce Star Notes~PCGS MSPPQ Consecutive~

Not long ago I started a thread about TPGs for paper money that can be found here.

http://www.cointalk.com/t75402/

Today I got MY notes back from PCGS. Both graded MS66PPQ by PCGS. I'll take the grade on the holders but really do wonder if they aren't overgraded. Especially the second note pictured.
I've also noticed a "ripple" in the second note that I SURE DON'T remember when I sent these in as well as the serial number on the holder being wrong. HEY, it's an error!

Anyway here's the notes in question.

Now here's the PMG MS67 that I showed in my other thread. I DO NOT own this note.

Opinions? Does anyone think ANY of these notes merit a 66 let alone a 67. Be honest please as it won't hurt my feelings at all. The centering on the green seal has been my biggest problem with all three notes honestly but I suppose if it were perfect we'd be looking at 68s or 69s?

Comments welcomed and appreciated.

My Mood:
on the 694* note, on the right side, extending from the center of ONE to the border of the note --- IS THAT A PINCH???? the pic sure looks like there is a paper pinch there?!?!?

if it is just a mirage fromt he image.. the notes look good! nice mostly even margains, solid corners, a couple small blemishes that appear in the image, not sure if they are on the notes though.

I think a 66 for them looks good.

the seal location looks well within the limits of the BEP range. Also, the 67 you showed ... well, i like your notes better. The margain centering is much better on your notes. the 67 bottom margain looks too thin to be a 67 IMHO.
