<p>[QUOTE="RiverGuy, post: 1577576, member: 22755"]There's another thread running now trying to define "Red" on copper coins. Doug, naturally, maintains that the term "Red" is only temporary. He rightly asks how a 100 - 150 year old cent can still be red. Time frame seems to be the aea of contention in this subject. Most of us agree that a copper coin begins to tone as soon as the mint release happens.</p><p>This coin is a good example. Many of the coins that I and others posted in the "103 days of Lincoln" were also good examples. This particular coin with the glaring, eye-distracting spot stands above most. The spot HAD to appear after NGC slabbed it!!</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
