If you sent them enough quid, I'll bet they'll put it in one of those hard plastic display holders and mark a MS65 Red grade on it.

I couldn't tell from the photo of your RP'd 9 from PCGS if that was there easily to see either. I understand that PCGS is very tough on "red". Maybe they'll mark it RB? Does any TPG note the two different fonts of the 9's on the 1899? |

Bill, no. Just RP9, or not.

Also, if you click on the PCGS photo, it enlarges.

There is no real reason why they should not grade that coin MS-67 Red... it has the eye appeal and everything...
Yet, for some unknown reason they are reluctant to give MS-67 grades in that series...

Superior luster, strike looks sharp, very few carbon specs, it should be ms66 rd compared to your other? Maybe a 67based on colour and less carbon spotting compared to spp 's 1872 ms66 newfy but the newfy penny is a superior strike I think. I'm just trying to compare to others.
Curious what do you think it is?

Playing the ICCS to US TPG cross-over game is a dangerous one indeed. Especially when it's a high MS grade 'red'. |

It is not a game, and bosox certainly knows what he is doing.

Pictures aren't very large but I literally see no problems so I would personally think MS67 Red at PCGS.
