[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1348551, member: 19423"]I agree that the price paid was pretty good for the look and eye appeal of that particular VDB. However, I wouldn't turn to the 64 Greysheet price for too much support here. Remember, for Lincoln Cents, the Greysheet prices for MS64 and MS65 coins are for full red examples. In contrast, the MS63 Greysheet price is for an red-brown example. Note that this doesn't hold for Indian Cent prices. For Indian Cents the Greysheet prices are for MS63BN, MS64RB and MS65RB coins... none of the prices of Indian Cents are for full red coins. You have to be really careful when looking at the MS grades of the copper coins in the Greysheet. I've seen many people at shows way overpay and also way undercharge for copper because they rely on the Greysheet price w/o figuring out what color designation goes along with each grade. I can't even begin to tell you how many full red Indian Head Cents I've been able to get relatively cheap because the dealer uses the Greysheet for pricing!!! :) The OP's coin appears 85-90% red to me, but given that type of toning on the coin I'd bet it would go into an RB holder vs. a RD holder. Accordingly, if we think the coin is an MS64RB or MS65RB... the value of that coin isn't even listed in the Greysheet... :)[/QUOTE]
