nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 10:07 pm Let's see if we think PCGS did a better job than ANACS did with the 1859. Here is an 1862 cent in a problem free PCGS holder that I just acquired for my certified type set. How would you grade this one? Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 10:29 pm OK! I will take a first stab at it. MS 62. Looks RB, don't know if the color from the picture is right. Report this Post to the Staff

nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 10:34 pm PCGS doesn't assign colors to the copper nickel cents. The coin is more lustrous in hand than in the photos with a reddish hue. Report this Post to the Staff

nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 11:31 am And the PCGS grade is: This coin has got a lot of eye appeal in hand so I agree with the grade. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite coins in my collection. It is my first MS copper nickel cent and I may be hooked. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 12:00 pm Hmmm! The reverse shield looks to have weak strike that I thought would kept it away from MS-63. This next to Mercury dime is next in my favorite list. Report this Post to the Staff
invisibleninja7 Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 8:31 pm Very nice coin, I agree with MS-63, is that a small Cud on the denticle that the lowest arrow points to? Report this Post to the Staff
