Hi everyone,
Just curious if its possible to look up the picture on a gold shield coin? Have a copper Lincoln I'm looking at with a certain grade but wondering if the current verdigris was present during grading... Or how I can tell coin condition at grading versus how its current condition is... That's the downside of collecting copper coins for sure.... :/

Thanks

    All,
    Thanks for your welcome... Got my mind wondering on your thoughts for "Added Value" to a coin you submit with "Gold Shield" or say you buy a coin with "Gold Shield"... How much credit does one give it other then knowing we have some pics to refer to?

    Welcome MS67!

    I can't speak for anyone else or the market as a whole, BUT, I can tell you that I personally PREFER coins graded with PCGS Gold Shield or a PCGS TrueView when I am shopping online. I will pay a bit more for the ones I want. I often see things in the PCGS pics that I cannot see in the seller's pics. Just my 2 cents :)

    Roger
