quick question

How come on some cents, in this case specifically indian head cents, there is no rd, rb, or bn designation? Just the numerical grade? I have seen this happen on PCGS coins as well with NGC.

I cant tell you why they do it, but I can give you a Duh answer: Does that penny look red to you?:devil:

 

Quick answer - they do.

 

Well i own a 1909 ms64rd so i know that, maybe i was being too short with the question. I mean how come some indians don't get a color designation, some do?

 

I've got an answer. That one shown on the ebay one is a nickel composition. They only do so with the copper ones. Not a Nick. Hope it helps.

 

Ah ok that's right, 1859-1864 was 12% nickel. Thanks.
