The auctioneer describes the penny Reddington loses to Blaise as "the 1943-D bronze penny," describing it as having been certified by P.C.G.S. as "68 out of 70." P.C.G.S. is the preeminent coin grading service for such ultra-rarities and does grade coins on a scale of 1 - 70. However, the only 1943-D bronze specimen ever certified by P.C.G.S. was graded 64, not 68 (a monumental difference) and sold at auction in 2010 for $1.7 million. Additionally, all P.C.G.S. certifications for copper coinage include a "color" designation to indicate the degree of darkened patina ranging from the most desirable RD ("Red") to RB ("Red-Brown") and finally BN ("Brown"). The coin in question was rated MS-64BN. It is extremely unlikely that an auction featuring such a rarity would omit the color designation.
