<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1075881, member: 17555&quot;]OK,, so we probably agree that a RD (on average), in the same grade, will be worth more than a RB.. Now if one graded 67 BRN,, I&#039;d be curious, since it would be ultra rare across the entire series and not just it&#039;s specific date. Anyway, back to the other question, which is yet to be addressed:</p><p>Q - if a MS67 cent that toned to RB or BRN was regraded by pcgs or ngc,,,, and it was downgraded to say 65 or 66 due to the loss of luster while in the slab,,, </p><p>WOULD PCGS AND NGC HONOR THIER GUARANTEE AND PAY FOR THE PRICE DIFFERENCE ?..... is there some &#039;color&#039; qualifier in thier promise that loops them out of paying for downgraded cents due to color / luster changes ??</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to Eyeeatwheat&#039;s questions regarding the posted cents,, first, very nice pics. the first does have nice eye appeal and would probably sell for more than the second. both could go 66 or 67 if they were red and had luster imo.. the second has a hit above the eye that may hold it back more than the first, and the first one appears to have a distincly better strike than the second (more defined rims, lettering, etc.) I&#039;ll say the third one is 66 RD.. for value, I&#039;ll go with pcgs price guide, whatever that is. It looks like it could have some toning that is washed out by the pic,,,, if the toning is attractive and in fact this coin is RB, then as you say, the price guide drops, but realized price at auction could hold or increase if the depending on the nature of the toning... assuming average coin, then would drop to pcgs price guide for 66 RB.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>** which brings me to another thought,,, given no one really pays too much attention to pcgs price guides, I wonder if it wouldn&#039;t benefit them to artifically increase thier RB and BRN&#039;s price guidance,,, to limit any loss in the above hypothetical,, where one of thier RD&#039;s tones to a RB or BRN and the owner calls them on it... maybe save them some $$ if they had to regrade an old MS67 RD to MS66 RB, or even worse,, to a BRN ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
