TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 4:12 pm Here's one that I have trouble with, the BR or R/B. I have seen coins graded by ICCS that were almost all red come back as R/B and other TPGs grading them Red. Just trying to figure out if this would come back a BR or R/B based on people's experiences with the TPG's as well as their own opinions of which it would be. Feel free to take a jab at it's Grade as well. Thanks. Edited by TaeKenDo 07/14/2016 4:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 5:56 pm I'm very familiar with PCGS's attribution as I've submitted many large cents. I believe this would get a PCGS 65 BN, there is no mint luste (or red) showing. Although there are darker and lighter sections clearly visible these are not the original surface color or lustre. PCGS Is the most strict on red, ICCS is slightly more lenient. As for ICCS grade I'd guess MS-63 BN. ICCS only goes up to 63 in brown, and 64 if it is a "lustrous brown" Possible ICCS RB too Report this Post to the Staff
TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 6:12 pm Thanks, I've been considering other TPG's such as PCGS and discussed the different grading based on color change not long ago and I feel it's unfortunate and does not do coins justice. I'll have to look into the cost with the CDN exchange rate being a whopping 25%. But there is also the advantage of a clear hard case that you can see much better through & the coins don't usually rotate. Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 6:38 pm all copper coins will turn brown when exposed to air, a RB coin 30 years ago will be brown today, unless it was sealed in an airtight. Report this Post to the Staff
