themetallurgist Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 10:30 pm I know everyone goofs, but how often does PCGS goof up? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...:AAQ:US:1123 it's getting plenty of bidders! Edited by themetallurgist 07/30/2014 10:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 10:38 pm Well, yes it isn't the Small Date variety. But I could see people bidding on it for that beautiful toning. Report this Post to the Staff
themetallurgist Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 11:23 pm how does it even get that toning? I'm sure there are artificial ways of doing it and it probably ruins the value? I'm just not familiar with such techniques. Report this Post to the Staff
Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 11:30 pm No, it's not AT. These toning especially tend to show up on many 1970-S proof cents. They toned that way in the proof set case. No AT involved. Some other examples: https://goccf.com/t/120358&whichpage=2 https://goccf.com/t/156394 Edited by Matteproof 07/30/2014 11:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 12:25 am There are also some floating around in NGC and ANACS slabs with the wrong attribution. The toning is natural, I currently only have a PCGS rainbow example, but I've bought and sold many. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
LincolnGuy Pillar of the Community 917 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 12:59 am I have a couple like that, one of them is my avatar. One of them is still in the proof set. Definitely natural. Report this Post to the Staff

themetallurgist Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 10:07 pm the seller updated the listing stating that it is indeed a large date and that PCGS mislabeled it. you've gotta appreciate their honesty! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/01/2014 12:53 am That's interesting toning to be sure--but I could see it was a LD before I enlarged the seller's pic. Report this Post to the Staff
