    altered color

    sorry no pics

     

    these coins have no color except copper color,no blue no pink no notable color.they look like good copper "pennys".and yes i have plenty of coins to compare.i dont collect color coins.

    what does the amount of posts i put out there have to do with anything.i merely wanted to know how NGC can tell if a coin has altered color when it looks as copper as any other "penny" i own.

    hello coinman

     

    i agree and understand what you are saying.

    the problem is that the coins that were graded as altered,look like good coins.

    i put six MS coins together to see if i could tell the difference,three altered and three good ones.the only thing i could see is maybe a smudge mark.these are pennys im talking about. if i had a camera i would take a picture and post it.

    as far as im concerned i think KURTDOG is wrong about grade worthyness not being a factor.

    if he has any coins he would know that.

    so from what ive read from my fellow coin collectors, i guess NGC only uses eye appeal for altered color designation.i find that incredible and disturbing..

    i cant believe that they wouldnt have some kind of chemical testing .

     

    thanks to all for the input.

    hello

     

    i have no idea who im talking to,or who might be reading this.

    let me tell you there are people out there that want our money,i cant believe it.

    i am going through a situation now,of trying to get my money back from a person that sold me a 16D mercury dime off of EBAY that has an altered mint mark.

    i bought the coin raw witch was a mistake,and sent it and six other mercs to NGC for grading.got the results back today 1/7/2011 made me sick.

    i am now going through EBAY resolutions,thank GOD for buyer protection on EBAY.the money i spent on that coin is not a lot to most people,not even me at one time.but having a sick wife to take of 24/7 now and having to retire to take care of her,money really is a little tight.but this is my hobby.so with all that being said ,i think ill buy only graded coins from a reputable company such as NGC---

    PCGS,well you get my meaning.

     

    PEOPLE BEWARE!!!!!!!!! THERE REALLY ARE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WANT OUR MONEY ILLEGALY. ITS HARD TO HAVE A GREAT DAY.
