[QUOTE="clembo, post: 674020, member: 8033"]Thanks for all the input here guys and honestly I don't care what it would grade. I'll keep it raw because it's cool. Now for the record. This coin was in a tubed roll of Unc VDBs. It was, indeed, the top coin with the Reverse facing up. That's where the brown came from. Yes, there is a hint of red at the bottom but for all intents and purposes it's brown. The obverse is indeed full red. I'm into this coin cheap and will keep it as a "conversation piece" more than anything else. It's just cool guys. Not high grade - I figure MS63 or lower actually. I actually posted it to see what people WOULD actually think it would be deemed in a chunk of plastic. I looked at it and said the "ultimate" red brown. It's red on one side and brown on the other. If I were to stop people on the street then show them a red coin and a brown coin then THIS coin what do you think they'd say as non-numismitists? I'm betting red brown. This coin will not see a slab. Not worth it. If I thought it had a shot at 66 or higher I'd consider it for resale value only. As it is it's a fairly common coin and I like it. A 2x2 will hold it just fine.[/QUOTE]
