    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    What you are looking for does not exist. The PCGS photograde site is based off the book by James Ruddy called "Photograde." It is, as you mention, purely US.

    Foreign coins are graded slightly differently. Depending on where you are located, collectors have their own scales and criteria. The best advice we can offer you is a basic understanding of the factors involved in grading, what affects a grade, and how to evaluate a coin. You can then interpret any coin according to any scale: this coin has a certain amount of wear. American collectors call that VF, Germans call it SS, French call it TTB (more or less... there are slight variations).

    The best rule of thumb: Figure out what the Americans would call it, and then go a few points more conservative.

    In any case, for a general understanding of how to grade any coin, from any where, I would direct you to the book in my signature, linked below:

    I guess what I was asking "anything Now" I know the Euro drivel, Germany is happy with the 70 pt. scale (well maybe not..)but I was shown what to expect, STG could go from 58-70 no compromise.
