PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 9:10 pm My guess would be that the PCGS site doesn't have a choice when listing a cent grade in MS. Like, if they are calling a cent MS, perhaps there's a required box they have to tick deciding BN, RB, or RD, even when it doesn't apply, like here. Just a hunch, but I bet it comes down to web design faults Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 01:56 am I think PNW is spot on here, when it comes to off metal strikes and Lincoln's, I've only ever seen BN as the given designation. Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12251 Posts	Posted 01/24/2021 08:36 am A quick check of the PCGS certification database will show multiple examples of a Lincoln Cent struck on a clad 10-cent planchet graded without any color designation. The example (with color reference) referred to here might simply be a data entry error (we all make mistakes from time to time) or might have been a short-lived label policy. In any case, what's on the holder is most important IMO. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
