<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2385588, member: 71723&quot;]Is there a magic 50 year ago event, or are we talking a continuum here? I OWN rolls (in clear plastic, not paper) put back in the mid-1960&#039;s that are still fully and completely red and have never been messed with.&nbsp; It&#039;s now 2016. Let&#039;s do the math - 2016 minus 1964 equals 52 years. HEY, DO I COUNT? I also have some 1955 and earlier rolls, the old thin plastic tubes with two slip-on clear caps, and they&#039;re all red too. I guess I may be &quot;a god&quot;, as Cascade joked in another thread, huh? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Or does keeping them away from random atmospheric gases count as &quot;messed with&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>I also own a few NGC slabbed cents that SAY &quot;RD&quot;, but they ain&#039;t. It&#039;s a stretch to call them &quot;RB&quot;. They toned IN THE SLAB. I know, &#039;cuz they was red when I bought &#039;em.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point? Any blanket definitive statement about copper coins is wrong, by definition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
