<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1678553, member: 307&quot;]No flying eagle cent is going to be RED. Many may forget that they (as well as IHCs prior to 1863) are copper-nickel and the original mint color is actually more golden than red due to the alloy. It is also that harder alloy that accounts for the weaker strikes of these early small cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
