All coins were taken straight from the original government packaging. Here are the results: 50c: 33 PF67, 2 PF68, 2 PF69, 3 did not meet the minimum acceptable grade of PF66CAM. 25c: 23 PF67, 1 PF68, 26 did not meet the minimum acceptable grade of PF66CAM. 10c: 23 PF67, 9 PF68, 8 PF69, 10 did not meet the minimum. 5c: 34 PF67, 13 PF68, 2 PF69, 1 did not meet the minimum. 1c: 11 PF67RD, 39 did not meet the minimum.
