Hi, would anyone be able to help me understand the "L" suffix on the CCCS date? my understanding is that the L, for example 2008L is for "logo". but looking at the population report the 2008 1 cent shows 2008 and 2008L. I thought there was only one variety. perhaps I'm misunderstanding and the "L" stands for something else? their report is found here: https://cccs.co/population-report/thanks! |

Why on earth would someone have a 2008 cent certified, especially at CCCS? The cost to cert it would be 10 times what the coin would ever be worth.

as for why certify it? in MS66/67 it should sell for more than the cost of grading or just preference on storage archival. CCCS is slightly cheaper than ICCS.
Anyways, I choose that date as it's an easier one, but would appreciate any insight into the original question which applies to a broad array of modern coins.

L would stand for logo I am guessing.

Well, it's your choice, but chances not good for a 66/67; more likely 64 maybe 65. CCCS isn't even allowed to use their certs on ebay |

I'm confused. All I see in that pop report is 2008 without any suffix. 2006 population shows 2006, 2006P and 2006L, which from coinsandcanada is accurate - there were three 2006 types.

Hi kbbpll, perhaps different filters are applied, under 1c in MS, I'm seeing the following:  |

I believe okie is in error. CCCS is allowed on ebay. |

They (CCCS) are not allowed to put the TPG or cert in the "title" of the auction. It can be in the description. |

The rules for ebay.com (US) and ebay.ca (Canada) are different. Oddly, the listings from the sites form a single pool... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

I guess L could also stand for leaf, as in maple leaf.

I was able to confirm with Louis from CCCS: the "L" suffix stands for "logo", but in my question he did not respond as to why non-logo examples exist for years in which (to the best of my knowledge) only logo versions were produced. Mystery partially solved but questions remain.

My hunch is that it's a data entry problem - they added the L designation to their system for 2006 and their data entry people have been confused about whether to select it or not for subsequent years. I'm curious if they actually designated them as such on the labels.
