Does anyone know what exactly does A2-66C mean on an old Accugrade slab. The
coin is a 79S PL Morgan. Thank you

The A2 refers to strike and luster. A being fully struck and the 2 denoting
brilliant luster. Not sure about 66c unless it is MS 66 PL?

I'd have been inclined to suggest the "c" meant cameo, but it's not a
proof coin.

The answer may be it depends. According to the reference "Third Party
Grading/Certification Services & Slab/Certificate Varieties" by Condor
101 of 2003, for the early generation holders (Greenwich, CT), the
codes are: Strike: A=Full, B=Soft, C=Flat; Surface: 1+Frosted,
2=Brilliant, and 3=Dull; Proof or Prooflike: A=Full, B=Soft, C=Flat,
1=Cameo, 2=P.L. Proof, 3+Dull

When they changed the slabs to just say Connecticut the codes changed
to: Strike: A=Full, B=Soft, C=Flat; Surface: 1=Frosted, 2=Brilliant,
3=Cleaned-Hirlined; Proof or Prooflike: A=Full, B=Soft, C=Flat 1=Cameo
Proof-PL, 2=Proof-Prooflike, 3= Cleaned-Hailined

By generation 4, the codes changed again--no location was listed, but
Surface: 3 became Dull=Cleaned, and Prooflike: 3 became Dull+Cleaned
PL

By generation 6 slabs the codes changed again and are a bit more
complicated. I suspect you hae one of the earlier generation slabs
(there were 26 generationsl listed in the reference).

If this does not answer your question, please send a scan to
eswa...@yahoo.com and I will research it further for you.
