<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 1905613, member: 56370"]I just picked up an 1863 copper nickel Indian cent graded MS62 by NGC. It has surprisingly clean surfaces for a 62 and is dripping with luster and eye appeal.

It occurred to me that the corrosion could have been cleaned off prior to being sent to NGC and could have come back after slabbing. If this is something that would normally pass muster as is than I am okay with it; I just want to make sure I don't have a problem coin on my hands that got that way post slabbing. I wonder if TPG's are more lenient with corrosion on the edge versus on the surface. Since the coin has such great eye appeal otherwise, perhaps it was graded down due to the spots. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]326103[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326104[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326105[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
