keith12 Pillar of the Community United States 2916 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 54848 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 2005 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.

commems Pillar of the Community United States 5278 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.
