<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8224526, member: 101855"]The trouble with old holders and copper coins is that the coins can tone over time. I got burned when I was dealer on an "MS-65, Red" large cent that turned R&B and was headed to Brown before too long. The 1855 half cent in the PCGS MS-64 R&B, CAC holder has been in that holder for over 20 years. Who knows what it looked like in the late 1990s when it was graded?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why I stay away from most Red copper unless it's Proof coin from 1936 or newer in a very old holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
