When I looked up the number it says that after 10 years copper coins are no longer valid and I need to re-submit it. It is Brown so I didn't bother. I looked up the number again and it says it is not valid lookup. I think I might crack it open to put in my book. Should I?
H'mm. When I looked it up it appeared, as shown below. True, the text below the verification describes the 10-year limitation on the certification and grade. Can't advise you on whether to resubmit, crack or keep as is.
Oh where did you submit it? Maybe I will keep it as is. It is BN so no need to re-submit it. Oh I see there is a page to submit the number and grade. They got rid of the 10 year thing.
The auction houses don't seem to pay much attention to NGC’s unfortunate policy toward copper coins. I could understand pulling back on red copper and maybe even R&B, but brown coins are stable, given proper storage. I would leave it in the slab. Most anyone who would buy it, would use the Fine-12 grade as a starting point.
