[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2476116, member: 24314"]I like the suggestion to sent it to snow. Now, let me split hairs here. Actually, the coin is correctly graded as Mint State. The problem is the color. Now this coin has been sent in to Heritage and if they could not get it straight graded, it is going to be tough for anyone else to. As I wrote earlier, there is NOTHING ORIGINAL about the pink color on the "N." None of us have the luxury of seeing it "in hand." Perhaps the coin is 100% natural yet the TPGS did not wish to take on the liability of (what would be) such an expensive high grade coin. IMHO, that coin can be toned down just a pinch by those who have knowledge of the method and still rate the RB designation in a straight graded slab. Baring this, you have a rare and wonderful coin that one day WILL BE straight graded. PS I've been told o_O;) that the method I referred to above has been long known by many copper collectors as it has been published for anyone to find.[/QUOTE]
