    Mike: That's one of the most beautiful Lincoln Cents that I've ever seen -- at least from the photo. Full red and blinding luster!! image

  • Thanks Stuart, You should see it in hand. brought tears to my eyes to part with it when I dropped it at the post office. I was really suprised by what David Hall said about the coin. After this link is done, I'm going to print it and keep it next to the slab. I think that would be very cool.

    I was wondering if it was recolored. I racked up a few BB when I started on proof Indian Cents. I gave up the series because of it. The doctors are getting better!!!

    No problem with the 1909, I understand. I'm sorry to hear about the 1911, as it must have been a let down to receive such results.

    I hope you and your family have a very happy new year.

    I dont think its going to be a very happy one.

    That really stinks, but, given the seller (Numiscent) it was predictable. What was it bagged for -- artificial color, altered surfaces, or both? Did you try to get a refund? You might succeed with a refund (as others have) as this seller wants to preserve his "reputation".

    This seller is a real scumbag, but it seems like not enough of his customers have the coins graded to realize they have been screwed.

  • ..DO NOT buy raw copper; what could be simpler .

    And hey - why not state why it was body bagged ???????????????
  • fcfc Posts: 12,793 ✭✭✭
    he did state the reason for the BB, it was consider AT. recolored.
    that is the way i read it.

    another disappointing raw purchase.. sorry to hear about this.

    I was hoping you would go after the refund - I think seller likely would give in if you pushed it enough. However, at least you avoided losing again on the 1909. One thing you can do is take a close look at the 1911 and a PCGS 66RD or 67RD Lincoln -- I think the difference in the surfaces will become apparent.

    I don't collect that much copper -- but I imagine it is tougher to find nice raw copper (especially on Ebay) than it is for silver and gold -- especially with the skilled copper coin doctors out there. One thing you might want to try is finding early MS Lincolns in the old Green PCI holders -- you usually can pick them up for "raw" prices, and they typically cross or even upgrade a point (but crack out the coin and submit raw).

    By way of example, here is a 1909 with original surfaces (NGC graded it 66):

    Here is a 1936 that PCGS graded 67:

    Getting a bodybag sucks, big time. image

    Not for nothing, but some of the best dealers & collectors here have had a number of their coins BB'd for AT on the first try, and then grade with no problem on a resubmit. While I can't comment on whether your coin is AT or not, it may be worth it to send it in again, or better yet, send it across the street or around the corner for a "different" opinion.

    Ownership adds a point image.... but no 67 from my old eyes, Mr Hall.....that spot over the Y in Liberty is gonna stop it, along with the tiny rim dings at 3o'clock on the obverse !

    MS66RD and bodybagged image.... that is why there is ANACS image

    VamGuy, that coin came from a Lincoln Cent coin doctor who sells on Ebay, who has hosed at least two forum members, and probably countless others. As Stewart Blay put it, all this seller's Lincolns look like "pumpkins", in that they all have an orange-like hue.

    Additional discussion was toward the end of This Thread, and also in this older thread, in which a forum member had 4 coins bodybag: Older Thread
  • To make it official, the reason for the BB was Questionable Color. Upon further examination and comparing it to ms67's (pcgs) in my collection, It almost appears , well, painted. Guess you would have to see it in hand. By the way, I still love the coin and feel it would grade 67!
