    I could easily go with 65 BN, but I probably would have guessed 64 BN from PCGS. But 63 RED would not have crossed my mind. Forget the number, where did the RED come from?

    Oh, I see what you're looking at. It is a PCGS database error. It is RB.

    I sent 11 coins to PCGS for TrueView only. I bought these already graded by PCGS.
    Even though 4 are BN and 5 are RB, the cert page has all as RD.

    This is also incorrect in their database. It is BN not RD.

    Not that I think 63 is right, but it is better than the red. I don't suppose it would be worth sending in for reconsideration.

    I went to the bank for quarters for laundry money and pulled these two out of the roll. Are they worth keeping or use for laundry?

    1961 Proof Lincoln (PCGS PR67RB). Probably some of the smoothest color I've ever seen on a proof Lincoln -- and the surfaces of this coin are flawless. I think it's deserving of a PR68 grade at least. I also think that PCGS blew the color class, as this should be a BN (not a RB) as this coin has 0% of the original mint fresh copper color. This coin displays a rare chartreuse color, which is halfway between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the color of a French liqueur called "Chartreuse" that was introduced over 200 years ago.

    This is the most beautiful toned coin I've ever seen. And I was outbid :( I may be depressed

    Found the 1999 rainbow toned penny metal detecting! And bought the Morgan on eBay!

    Are you aware that the Morgan Dollar is artificially toned?

    That's cool looking ...

    Where was that being offered? How much did it sell for? (just curious)
