Definitely desirable from that standpoint. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, the older holder is particularly desirable for copper coins, as alluded to briefly above. Copper is one of the more unstable coinage metals, and a red or red-brown coin can quickly turn in the wrong environment. To see a coin that was designated as red-brown in an old holder like that means that the coin is probably stable. Buyers will be less afraid of it turning brown. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Point of technicality - this is a variety, not an error. A variety occurs on the die (all coins struck from this die have this variety). An error occurs on a single coin (only one coin will have that unique error). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the designation on your coin, the obverse looks quite red. However, there is enough brown on the reverse for the RB designation. I think it is correct (you would not get RD on that coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
