BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19949 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 3:32 pm Keep in mind, that's a generic excuse from a TPG. It does NOT mean conclusively that the coin has been altered. It simply means it doesn't have "the look" they are after for coins in their holders....which REALLY surprises me based on your pictures. I had a 22D come back from PCGS as "colored" years ago. I left in a window sill for almost a year (with occassional flipping), it changed a to little more brown than red, I resubmitted and it came back MS-63RB. NEVER discard your coins rejected by a TPG for anything color (unless it's very obvious). My local dealer has shown me well over 100 copper slabs over the years that came back from the TPGs for "color" issues. He and I both disagreed with probably 99% of those he showed me.
