<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1274467, member: 19423"]When doing at cert verification on the PCGS website or looking up a coin in the PCGS Population reports, the color designation is dependent on the coin number being used... not the grade of the coin. So, if PCGS used the coin number for an RB coin instead of a BN coin, then the cert verification and pop reports will show it as an RB coin, even if it is graded VG10 (and clearly a BN coin). This is a common problem with the PCGS reports since PCGS requires you to use the RD and RB coin numbers when submitting coins of many types, even when they are circulated brown coins. In most cases, they change the number to the correct brown number, but sometimes they do not. On the actual physical labels though, you should not see any color designation on a circulated copper coin (unless it's a mechanical error).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
