The 68 is an MS66/67 without the toning, whoever graded that coin MS65 was drunk. Say what you want, those coins are tremendous and don’t look...

I like A, but I don't think any of these would get a star.
I think it is MS66PL
LOL, that is a whole different issue that NGC avoids by not publishing their standards. FWIW, I am an NGC customer because for several reasons...
Ok, neither are these definitions are what PCGS and NGC use for their application of the + designation. PCGS Definition: The high end for any...
So you are saying you've never seen an ugly clean well struck lustrous coin? I'm sorry I don't have a better example, but I'm a collector who...
