<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lonegunlawyer, post: 1532357, member: 40282&quot;]I would agree with those three choices and I would agree with their decision on the authenticity of a coin and any PMD, and I would agree with most of their grades and attributions.&nbsp; However, while those at PCGS, NGC, and ANACS are so much more experienced than me, I believe grading and attribution (especially of a yet to be attributed coin) to be more subjective.&nbsp; Therefore, I would not be inclined to agree on these points if I possessed evidence that demonstrated otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, this morning I looked at my own 1941 cent again while placing it in a hard plastic 2X2.&nbsp; My particular cent&#039;s obverse is brown copper colored with an approximate 2mm silver colored blotch east of Lincoln&#039;s face and the reverse is primarily silver colored.&nbsp; After placing it in the 2X2, I again tested its magnetic properties with a fairly strong magnet.&nbsp; I held the 2X2 firmly, but not tightly.&nbsp; At approximately an inch from the magnet, the 2X2 tore from my fingers and held tightly to the magnet.</p><p><br /></p><p>There has got to be something more than a post-Mint coating of a magnetic metal or compound (especially since the silver spot on the obverse does not appear to be the first layer).</p><p><br /></p><p>I really appreciate your input and thoughts on this matter (PMD or otherwise).&nbsp; I suppose, at least to quench my own curiosity, I will submit this coin to PCGS in the near future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
