Take another look at your Red Book. You'll find proof coins MUCH earlier than 1936.
Perhaps the L&C coin needs to be submitted to a TPG.
By the way, the 1820 and 1856 cents look full red to me. They're beauties, IMO.
In one of his many books, David Bowers advised buying brown MS cents as a collector, and I agree with that. I wouldn't pay extra for full red cents.
I want to finish my Registry Set of Standing Liberty 25c and am interested in the following dates: 1917-S #1, 1917-D and S #2, 1919-D in MS63,...
Here are two of my favorite SLQs. I bought the 1924-S in an NGC slab, sent it to PCGS to crossover, then sent it to CAC. What do you think was the...

Based on having seen many thousands of circulated and uncirculated Washington 25c, I would guess XF40. Where you see all this subdued luster is...
If I hadn't seen the reveal, I would have guessed either F15 or VF20, but probably F15. It's definitely better than VG10. I'm basing that on 65+...

After all these years, I suddenly had an "aha" moment that concerns when an AU58 coin receives an MS grade (MS62). The MS62 is given based on what...
I agree with your comment. I recently sent 20 coins to CAC, 19 SLC and one Lincoln cent. Of those, just 5 passed. I was really surprised with the...
Is that supposed to be uncirculated? I would grade it no better than XF.
I think you meant to say ". . . a boon for the hobby."
Look like winners to me. Thanks for posting them.
