<p>[QUOTE="2schnauzers2luv, post: 1326523, member: 26161"]If a coin comes back from PCGS as "Genuine" without a grade, the serial number will tell you why if you look at the 5th and 6th digits of the serial number. If they had felt it was artificially toned , there would be 91 there instead of 67. 91 means questionable color. When coins are given a grade, that grade will appear where the 5th and 6th digits are. If they consider it non-gradeable then a code number is inserted. There are 13 codes. 92 is cleaning. 95 is scratch/rim dent, 94 is altered surfaces, 99 is PVC residue and so on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
