[QUOTE="coppermania, post: 1304637, member: 18304"]Pretty cool thread Lance. I'll go first I guess. From what I can see from the pictures, I will step out and say that the NGC slabbed 1913 looks like a MS 63 from what I am used to seeing. If it is body bagged it is due to what looks like a wipe on the reverse or the spot on the lapel has a halo around it that can signify a recolor job. The PCGS 1909 would surely grade higher than 63 and if it doesn't, it would be due to the bold color. You know as well as I do that there isn't any true guidelines the TPG's use to follow when it comes to color, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if it BB for color. I would say I PREFER the 1909 simply because of the matte fields alone. The 1913 looks to be lacking that and why else own one unless it is there? Although I own some business strike Lincoln cents that have similar attributes like this, I can see these MPLs as both being market market acceptable on any given day. JMO Matt[/QUOTE]
