<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 402064, member: 3726"]Wish I still had the article - I believe it was in coin world. Basically I believe it said if you take decent care of the coin it will not turn in your lifetime. I mean some of these red coins have been around for over a hundred and fifty years - this was before de-humidfiers and holders. They are still red, you now put it in a holder which slows it down even more - so I doubt if any of my RD coins would turn in my lifetime - with decent care. Notice I did not say special care. So if you like a RD PCGS/NGC coin buy it, I prefer RB on IHC's. Now if you buy it, crack it out, put it in a dansco album - will it will probably turn to RB from the cardboard and chemicals given enough years. This is one we will have to agree to disagree on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a randall hoard <a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=454&Lot_No=217" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=454&Lot_No=217" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=454&Lot_No=217 red</a> - now these coins sat in a railway station for who knows how many years in barrels. Yes - most were BN or RB, but here is a RD. Now someone tell me they are going to do the same with their PCGS/NGC graded RD cents? Lets see how long it takes it turn from RD to RB.
