    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.

    Excellent coins. Yeah, I agree that the RB designation is a little harsh.

    Those are some nice coins. Sorry to seem ignorant, but which one were you talking about with the RB?

    No problem - the 1881 is graded MS64RB. 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.

    Mark should be happy. 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.

    Yes the pictures are accurate. I figured the auction pictures did not show the brown either - I was very surprised when I received the coin and got to looking at it. Cost me a little more, but it was worth it.

    Thanks for all the comments.
