<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rlm&#039;s cents, post: 793852, member: 7957&quot;]Sorry, Doug, but I must disagree.&nbsp; If the color had no affect on the grade, I would expect at least most of the highest grades for both brown and red the same or at least similar.&nbsp; i.e., if the highest graded brown coin is MS66, then typically, the highest graded red coin should also be MS66.&nbsp; Using PCGS for all Lincolns from 1909 through all of the 1914&#039;s, only once did the highest graded even equal the red (1912-S), only once did the highest graded RB exceed the red (1912-S again), and the RB even equaling the red was definitely the exception not the rule.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not that I have as much experience as you, but that also jives with my general feeling on my coins.&nbsp; Maybe they say the the amount of red does not affect their opinion of the eye appeal, but that has not been my experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
