SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 10/10/2014 01:36 am ICCS would call this one MS-62 Red-Brown. But PCGS would grade this one as "Genuine Questionable Color". The extensive purple colour in the open fields and buffered out from the red lustre around all the devices speaks to me that this coin was wiped with acetone on a Q-tip, especially so on the reverse...

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 09:20 am I have a lot of copper cents that have a lacquer coat on them (that's what the ICCS label says). It was recommended for me to remove this lacquer before sending them to PCGS for grading. So this could adversely affect the colour and damage these cents. Any new recommendation before anyone sends lacquered cents down to PCGS..? Is it still the practice that PCGS will refuse a lacquered cent..? Thanks.. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2521 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 1:45 pm Acetone turns coins purple? I've used it many times times on fully brown copper with no colour change, is it different with red/red-brown ones? Report this Post to the Staff
