[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1090243, member: 2972"]FWIW, NGC's perspective seems to diverge from PCGS with respect to the MA of BR on copper. Said more directly, NGC allows coins with BR in their slabs (see Reiver collection coin, for example). PCGS tends not to -- even before the sniffer. NGC MS 62 BN Reiver: [img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/72753198/medium.jpg[/img][img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/72753131/medium.jpg[/img] It sure appears like BR is on this NGC coin, and even more obvious in-hand -- it has that shiny/oily look (i.e. BR look) you sooooo often see in the cases of Doug Bird, Tom Reynolds, etc. However, it is a look you rarely see in PCGS plastic. Given my posts above, it should come as no surprise that I prefer NGC's perspective on this issue. But that's just me. :) All of the above IMHO and based on my experience, as always....Mike[/QUOTE]
