rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 4:13 pm Got this back from grading: can you see what's wrong w/ this coin? These are the best I can do for now in the way of pix, Dave sez I need to go to the photo forum and get some lessons! I've tried none the less to show the color, and the fact that it's a cameo strike! Edited by rynegold 05/20/2015 4:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 6:06 pm FS-302? Should not be a proof, can't tell from the photos. The rim says proof to me. I'd say PR62BN, lots of carbon spotting. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 9:38 pm I've had two red cents, one an Indian and the other a 1931-S Lincoln, both come back from NGC with "altered color" designations. I, too, was surprised and mystified. I don't know how it's done or how to detect it. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 10:09 pm Dang, I can empathize. They've seen a lot of them, so they are probably right. Everyone makes mistakes though. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/02/2015 5:42 pm I've submitted hundreds of coins to PCGS and NGC over the years, many with colorful album and envelope-toning (including a couple of yellow and green-toned Indian cents) and I must say that only 1 or 2 odd ones came back in AC body bags that disappointed me. Overall the TPGs do a pretty good job. Report this Post to the Staff
