Westin - Just a general question for anyone who knows... why do you ne

Just a general question for anyone who knows... why do you need to select BN on circulated copper? I thought that anything below a 60 is automatically assumed BN. Like for proof jefferson nickels, you don't need to select FS. I don't think I've ever seen a label have a colour designation for 58+ or less. That's been something I keep forgetting to add when I submit my guesses. Has anyone ever gotten an AU copper that was labeled RD or RB?

You don't see it often but I know NGC designates RB in the AU grades, don't know about PCGS tho

  YN_Evan2010 Anacs and NGC also do the occasional AU-PL Morgan and other coins, and I seem to think they do a bunch of AU RB on copper nickel Indian cents?

If it were omitted we would be telling you if a coin is MS.

  ToddPollock That does make sense. To tell you the truth, I never even noticed if the option pops up or not until you select a grade first.

PCGS may omit it from labels in less than MS, but not in coin registry number lookup.

Looking at this, NGC seems to include it on labels for any straight grade

I'm not able to look at my coins (and labels) right now, but PCGS does at least include the color designation in the registry even for XF.
