<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 631623, member: 19423&quot;]Thanks Jim.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s a beautiful example as well but I think PCGS got it right.&nbsp; I bought this one in a local auction a few years ago as a raw coin before I really knew what red copper was supposed to look like.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was advertised in the sale catalogue as a &quot;superb&quot; example.&nbsp; I would guess that a coin like this one would fool maybe 8 out of 10 folks who haven&#039;t really looked at lots of full red Indian Head Cents.&nbsp; Especially those looking at San Francisco IHCs as they typically have a lighter and more orange color than the Philadelphia examples.&nbsp; In a side by side comparison with my MS64RD example though, it&#039;s pretty clear that the .91 Genuine example has been messed with to some degree.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s still a nice coin though and I keep it to remind me (and hopefully others too) to be careful when buying high graded coins that have not been certified, especially if you really don&#039;t know the series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
