OK. Time to play Mythbuster here'

A lot of idle talk like 'yeah its red now but its gonna turn brown on you while its sitting there in its PCGS holder" or some such talk.

You get the drift. So, in order to really determine what is true and what is false, Lets see some photos.

If you have a PCGS RED lincoln cent, which you have a photo of as a RED, and now you can show a photo of that same coin in the same holder as a Red Brown or a Brown, now is the time to post it.

If NO ONE comes forward with this evidence, Id say, Myth Busted. Almost as good an evidence is any early Lincoln in a PCGS RD holder that is now obviously RB or BN. PCGS would not have slabbed this coin as a RD if it was not a RD.

    You can't make that assumption just because the couple hundred people that frequent these boards don't happen to have an example which they've been photo-documenting over the past couple years.

    darn good sampleing though......


    anyone?

    Id see PCGS going Bankrupt real quick if over the years people came back in droves with 26S or such that was RD that turned BN.

    Check teletrade for numerous examples. There is a 1911 in a 63RD holder that has turned and should probably be in a RB holder. But check the TT archives and you will see many, many more.

    I dont think this coin would grade RED if submitted today. In fact it may not even grade.
