<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrjason71, post: 2933188, member: 90347&quot;]Whoa I had no idea this thread was still going. I think my original question/thread was a bit of a cluster. Half mixing scientific wonderings with my layman&#039;s understanding. So I can understand both kinds of responses--and welcome both.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you GDJMSP (as always)...</p><p><br /></p><p>And thank you Buddy Love (please dont leave <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And thanks to everyone who is here to teach and help...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe I thought that red was untoned copper through various shades of toned copper until it reached brown. Like say its salmon to begin with and now is orange...I still consider that red. Why? Because this is what Ive observed--my observation could be incorrect. It looks to me that many coppers in slabs are RD but are NOT the color they were Day One...I am going to have to restructure my whole way of looking at this if it is not correct. Are you saying the moment copper tones one shade away from what it was the moment it was minted it is no longer RD?</p><p><br /></p><p>My experiment was with a handful of random cents...some pre-82, some post-82, some cleaned, some unc...It was far from scientific![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
