keith12 Pillar of the Community United States 2906 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 10:05 am Why is this coin listed as MS-65BN on PCGS website but not on the holder. Clearly its not brown https://www.PCGS.com/cert/81809147 Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 54797 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 10:18 am Not brown because it's struck on a dime planchet. Report this Post to the Staff

PNWType Valued Member United States 202 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 1993 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. My AU-MS Buffalo Ni. Set My In-Progress Registry Set Report this Post to the Staff
commems Pillar of the Community United States 5269 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.
