<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8272452, member: 112&quot;]Here&#039;s the thing about that picture, on the Red line, coins 3,4, and 5 qualify for Red Brown, not Red.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a specific percentage of the coin that must be original mint red for the coin to be labled as Red - 95% of the coin must be original mint red to get that designation.

PCGS allows only slight mellowing of color for this designation (RD).</p><p>Red-Brown</p><p>A copper coin that has from 5 to 95 percent of its original mint color remaining (RB).</p><p><br /></p><p>Which of course means that any coin with 5% or less of original mint red color will be classified as Brown.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, it doesn&#039;t have anything to do with luster, it only has to do with color. Even a Brown coin can have very high quality luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
