[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2761345, member: 19165"]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.
