The two newest members of the tribe. I have to wonder how the one got the RB designation. Their are a few carbon spots, but none distracting. I like the color contrast between the two coins - mark is very happy. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!

Usually on a coin this red you would see some spots of brown, in this case there are a few carbon spots but no real area of brown. Which is what surprised me when the coin came in. The 1884 is brown all the way - a very nice brown that I like. It is graded MS64BN. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!

I understand why they gave the 1884 an RB, it should be a brown but there's still some red there. Wait, you didn't mean the 81 got called an RB, did you? Because that would be WAY off the mark.   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
