I hope my post wasn't misleading (i.e. NGC and PCGS do use different nomenclatures). _________________________ -Kenny Areas of Interest: Original classic gold coins from the Southern mints (New Orleans, Charlotte, and Dahlonega); Carson City minted Morgan Dollars, early copper; high end, quality U.S. type coinage; proof like and deep mirror prooflike coinage; toners including Peace Dollars and classic gold; and cameo and deep/ultra cameo proof coins from 1936-1942.

I hope my post wasn't misleading (i.e. NGC and PCGS do use different nomenclatures). PCGS will give SMS coins from the 1960s either the MS or the SP designation (there are plenty of examples of both the MS and the SP designation). They are somewhat inconsistent. They (PCGS) have also used both MS and SP designations for the satin finish coins from 2005-2010. I haven't seen any rhyme or reason for the varied use of the SP vs MS designation by PCGS on these 1960s and 2005-2010 coins. If you don't believe me on how inconsistent they are do an eBay search for "PCGS SMS 196*" and you will see a bit of everything.

CoinPulsive PCM CoinPulsive PCM Talkative? Registered: 12/19/11 Posts: 632 Loc: Florida	BRG- I never noticed that about PCGS. But what I have noticed is that almost every proof coin they grade from the 1980's - today says "DCAM." Atleast that what I have seen on Ebay and every clad coin in my collection from 1995-2010 that is graded by PCGS is a PF--- DCAM. I think its over used by them IMO. But heres what I just bought on Ebay. Just purchased on Ebay! I do not know the values of colonial spanish silver coins. But this one looked in decent cond. and I have been wanting to add one to my "odds" collection. What do you guys think? -Dave _________________________ "A failed attempt is better than never making the attempt at all." "Don't think..Just Double Tap."
