<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1056437, member: 15309&quot;]WOW!&nbsp; Not an easy feat to get me to say that but you did it.&nbsp; Yes, I absolutely dig it.&nbsp; The grade has to be MS66.&nbsp; The surfaces are far too clean for MS65 and that one signficant mark on Monticello precludes MS67.&nbsp; I can&#039;t tell about the steps from photo but PCGS has been using the designation for a long time.&nbsp; In fact, they were more lenient in their application of the FS designation years ago and have tightened up considerably to be more in line with NGC&#039;s standards which are very high.&nbsp; Here is a link to some more on the PCGS standards but it doesn&#039;t provide a time frame.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article_view.chtml?artid=6323&amp;universeid=313&amp;type=1&amp;utm_source=ezine&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=ezine08032010" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article_view.chtml?artid=6323&amp;universeid=313&amp;type=1&amp;utm_source=ezine&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=ezine08032010" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article_view.chtml?artid=6323&amp;universeid=313&amp;type=1&amp;utm_source=ezine&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=ezine08032010</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now back to the beautiful coin you posted.&nbsp; That toning is exceptional for a 70&#039;s Jefferson.&nbsp; Here are the pop reports for the 1975:</p><p><br /></p><p>MS65-----40</p><p>MS66-----44</p><p>MS67-----13</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, the PCGS registry collectors only really care about FS coins which enables guys like us to buy coins like this without having to amputate any limbs.&nbsp; Fantastic pickup![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
