Question about a Britannia Proof Slab

in World & Ancient Coins Forum
All of the Britannia proofs that I have seen are usually graded as PR69DCAM or PR68DCAM.

When I got two 2008 Britannia proofs back from PCGS, they were graded PR69RD DCAM.
What does the RD mean?

    It means PCGS needs to crack down on graders drinking on the job.

    I think they got the coin # screwed up. The label in the above photo refers to a 2p or two pence which is a copper coin.

    edit: nevermind, I'm wrong a two pence would be 2d. DUH!

    No, I think you have it right - that would be a 2p "copper" (actually plated) bit & don't think they use 2d which is the older term. Mislabelled.
