1913 penny grade.

AU-55, is that finger prints I see, this is just an uneducated grade

This is what I dont understand about the grading process. I have heard stories that larger coins shops will get better grades on certain coins because of name or rep.

Edit. This coin is for sale for 250.00 I wouldnt buy it for that price but I had it at about AU-50 which would put it as 15-20 bucks.

that is a finger print and you are right it should not grade much higher than MS60

PCGS is an american company and though they have more experance with canadian coins than most US TPG they never the less almost always grade higher than canadian graders.....this is one reason I am not a big fan of slabbed coins some one will buy it and be none the wiser.

No, apology necessary, Bill... everyone grades what they see, you really have to have the coin in hand to make a better judgement..

If, you take the Canadian Standard for grading it is a lot different than how the U.S. grading companies grades coins.

I agree MS-64 R/B. I have seen MS-65 with this coloring as it looks like a finger print that caused the darkening.
