Message:: [QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1160770, member: 30400"]Excellent summary, Illini. Nice work. I was a little surprised to see 62 67RB wheaties. Last I checked it was  far less. Must have been a few years ago when I had several. After  selling the '56 to Charmy I am down to just one. But I am glad to learn  that the word I got about an unwillingness to grade more 67RB's is  wrong. HRH was speaking from emotion, I guess. Very interesting questions you raise about how the PCGS copper guarantee  will play out. With only an exception or two my registry set was  assembled prior to 2010 so I still feel warm and fuzzy. But for RD  copper  bought or graded after 12/31/09 that later "turns" and merits  RB, I suspect PCGS may soften some of their principles in order to maintain the numeric grade and avoid a buy-back. We may see more highly graded RB's after all. I don't feel that this is just, but for PCGS to do otherwise is tantamount to having a copper color guarantee again. The price bump, when dropping from 67 to 66 let's say, is often huge. A  PCGS 66RD '56 Lincoln can be had for $75. A 67RD, around $4,000. Similar  prices are cited for all 1950's Philly Lincolns. There are many more  examples, as you know.Lance.[/QUOTE]
