Not a super bad coin.....but the reference to the proofs....what's that for???? It doesn't make a mint state coin more valuable. Only the other way around does.....think about the 1901 Morgan.

that coin appears ok. but what more can you say about it?
it does not grab me by the head and say wow!

it just says "eh". it will prob fetch some high price and be
back on the market in a year or two.

I think that Teletrade is reaching out alot farther with some of their "toned" descriptions. They confuse 100 year old spots on the coin for toning.

Uhhhh...maybe because they wanted to show the mintage of the proofs for that year, because it IS a proof???

here we go again, making a judgement on a picture and calling the seller crazy. repeat after me, three times and in a loud voice-------you can't grade from a picture, you can't grade from a picture, you can't grade from a picture.

I'll go with "keets" on this one.

I agree, keets, but FULL BLAZING brown copper nickel MINT BRILLIANCE! I will go with PCGS' assessment that we aren't looking at a red proof. And ten years ago I would have taken Teletrade's word on the mirrors. What is amazing is that on the rare lots that the cataloguer dares to write anything that description is often at odds to an obvious degree with their images.

Because it's a proof?

There is no brown, r-b or red designations on copper nickel cents

i'd have to say that the "DOH's" are carrying the day on this BN/RB/RD-MS example of a CuNi PR IHC!!!
