    Blue, Brown, Gold, Green (several shades) Yellow and Red.
    Current notes (FRN’s) use Green.

    Is the brown seal the confederate bills?

    The BEP used Brown seals on small-size National Bank Notes and WWII Emergency issue notes used in Hawaii.

    Steve was referring to the color of the seals on US government issued paper money, not Confederate paper money. Brown seals were used on National Bank Notes, Federal Reserve Bank Notes, Hawaii notes and some of the large size notes.

    Isn’t XF for silver coins not copper?

    XF is for all coins regardless of the metal composition. It also applies to paper money. It used to be EF.

    Here is the book I bought 6 months ago. Do not see XF for copper coins.

    It’s semantics. EF=XF and vise versa.

    I understand your point of view but if it is not in black and white it is a gray area.

    The book says Choice Extremely Fine. Then there's XF and EF. They all mean the same thing and that is Extremely Fine.

    The grading scale can be changed to suit anyone's needs but the way it goes is:
    Fine
    Very Fine
    Extremely Fine
    Almost Uncirculated

    It just depends on what book you read, the source of information, the dealer, hawker or auctioneer.
