<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rlm&#039;s cents, post: 433849, member: 7957&quot;]I know this was a bad pic for determining color.&nbsp; It emphasizes the woodgrain and hides the&nbsp; base color of the coin.&nbsp; PCGS gave it a 63 RED/BROWN.&nbsp; I thought that it had been cleaned as did Skrabalak and Spanmkle although no one was sure whether or not it would grade.&nbsp; Anyway, I now have 1 of ~325 R/B 23-S&#039;s slabbed by PCGS and NGC combined and there are only 120 red ones.&nbsp; A quick check says that is the rarest R/B slabbed Lincoln cent of them all - rarer than the 26-S.&nbsp; BTW, the best part is I got it from an eBay dealer who also thought that it had been cleaned for $36.&nbsp; PCGS lists it at $1100.&nbsp; I think that is high, but the last one to sell on Heritage went for $430 and that was an NGC in 2005.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
