<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1259986, member: 19423&quot;]That is not entirely true. As long as you owned the coin before the date PCGS modified their copper color guarantee, the guarantee is still applicable to you. Regrading and/or variety attribution doesn&#039;t nullify the guarantee. You can still send your copper coins in for regrade and/or variety attribution and have the old guarantee apply since you&#039;re not transferring ownership. I have had several of my copper coins regraded (even coins that were in old green holders) and was reassured by PCGS that the guarantee would remain in place until I either sold the coins or cracked them out.&nbsp; So I have several red coppers in new Secure Plus holders where the PCGS copper color guarantee is still good for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, if you crack out the coins and submit them for grading (instead of doing a regrade submission while in the current holders), then you of course will lose the copper color guarantee.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the 1909-S/S FS-1502 S/Horizontal S goes, it&#039;s a somewhat popular variety but it&#039;s also a very common variety. In just about every major auction I see at least one FS-1502 that hasn&#039;t been attributed on the label. Since the variety is pretty common, it doesn&#039;t sell for much of a premium. I don&#039;t think it&#039;s worth paying for attribution unless you need it for one of your own variety registry sets. Of course, if you think the coin is an upgrade candidate, then it may be worth regrading, but the jump from 65RD to 66RD is actually a pretty big difference. If you ever find the 1909-S/S FS-1501, that repunched mintmark is much more scarce and definitely worth paying the money to get it attributed in pretty much any grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
