FIRST PCGS MS67RB Indian Cent Graded

I am happy to say that my dad and I are the proud owners of the FIRST PCGS graded MS67RB Inidan Cent. Thanks to PCGS and their Reconsideration Service for getting this one right. This coin finally earned the grade it has always deserved!

    Beautiful toning, I am sure the lustre is great leading to tremendous eye-appeal as befits its lofty grade of MS67.

    I saw this coin in hand over the weekend. It is an amazing Indian Cent and virtually flawless!

    Great Coin.. A true stunner. It appears full red at the center and then fades near the rim. Any ideas as to th method of storage? How did you locate the coin?

    Congrats BTW!

    Once again, PCGS blows it. That coin is 68RB all day!image
  • JoeVJoeV Posts: 48
    Thanks for all the kind words!

    lcoopie......I agree for some reason the 67 looks better than the 66 on Coinsfacts image

    Seth Chandler.....The coin was our purchased 4 years ago at the spring Baltimore Show off a dealer on a Saturday afternoon. I don't know the history of the storage of the coin. It was in a PCGS holder when I purchased it. The coin is unique becasue it is a RB but if you look at the surfaces (and forget about the color) the surfaces and luster are similar to a 100% Red coin. The Truview picture is AMAZING but it does not show the coins true luster. IMO the luster on this coins is blazing like a MS67 RED IHC.

    Those were my exact words. The coin turned ever so slightly RB but didn't mellow at all. The luster is amazing on this one.

    Sign me up at $3,000. I would say it is worth a lot more than that price.

  • Truly amazing coin. Congrats on the upgrade.
  • dbcoindbcoin Posts: 2,200 ✭✭
    nice coin. Went from $850 value to $3000. For the cost of grading fee plus $30 and s/h. Everyone's a winner.

    The reconsideration service seems to be a stroke of genius for PCGS and good for the hobby. Collectors sure seem happy with it. This is about the 3rd or 4th great example.
  • Great Coin!! Congratulations on the upgrade.

    Near $28.5K, I like the sound of that!!! It's the first one graded by PCGS is 28 years, no clue on how to value it.

    Also, this is an example of just how smart collectors will nearly always win the grading game.

    Collect what you love, read everything about your series, look at as many coins as possible, have mentor like relationships with other collectors and specialist dealers. All this leads to the ability to snag the right coin when the opportunity arises. Did I say right coin? Did I say right coin?

    The right coins ALWAYS get rewarded on whatever grading scale exists at the present time. Collectors can hold and get rewarded with each grading cycle.

    Having seen this beauty in hand, I can only wonder why it took PCGS so long? There are hundreds of 67 reds, how can there not be at least a few 67 RB's? Congrats Ed.
