<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Don in Warminster, post: 2150923, member: 74630&quot;]I am putting together a pattern set for American base coinage for 1850 to 1870.&nbsp; I had a copper-aluminum Indian cent of 1864 that had not had a metals test to see its exact composition.&nbsp; I bought it as NGC PR65 and sent it to PCGS for a metals analysis.&nbsp; The coin came back PR63 but the metal test revealed that it was a somewhat rarer variety so on balance there was probably no loss.&nbsp; PCGS is definitely more severe than NGC.&nbsp; In my inventory I am listing my 1864 copper-aluminum cent as NCG PR65, Heritage MS65, PCGS PR63.&nbsp; I do not intend to change holders again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
