If I found that in a bag of wheaties, I doubt I would have even set it aside....

What ticks me off is that they'll tag a coin questionable color when it is nearly mint red at times, but straight grade a coin like that, probably because it has no real value, but a semi key or key wheat should be regarded differently.

For the audacity to take submitters money to grade and slab this Lincoln . I dont think it should be PCGS's responsibility to determine what should or should not be graded, I'm pretty sure people send in near worthless coins all the time. For example, if someone were to come on this forum with an obviously damaged coin thinking it were an error, and submitting it to PCGS anyway desbite out advice, I have no problem with PCGS taking their money and sending the coin back designated as damaged.

He's a seller of artificially toned coins. My guess is that he buys cheap slabbed coins and then somehow gasses them in the slab so they get some color. That would explain why ugly coins are in a slab, but obviously not why they were sent to PCGS in the first place. Here are a couple more from the same seller. 273775438556 283425044475 |

I don't see how anyone can think that coin has good toned color . And I don't believe this seller sent it off to PCGS for grading and slabbing . BTW , who in their right mind would buy a slabbed common date & mint 1946 crappy looking Wheat cent graded MS-61 , when you can buy a full red MS-64 for a few bucks ?  |

I didn't say the color looked good! I suspect these aren't his finest works--probably his rejects that turned out poorly. If you can buy a slabbed mint state coin that someone is dumping for a buck, artificially tone it, and turn around and sell it for $50, that's a pretty good (albeit unethical) business model. He's got over 15,000 feedbacks, so he must be having some success...
