<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sloiselle, post: 67606, member: 3991&quot;]Hello! I&#039;m new here (and to numismatics) and have 2 questions for those in the know.</p><p><br /></p><p>1- will a &quot;red&quot; cent lose it&#039;s redness over time naturally? In other words, if I go find something I&#039;m jonesing for (like an Indian 1909-S, MS64 or so, RED) and obviously pay the premium for the red factor, will that color fade out over time, even in a slab?</p><p><br /></p><p>2 - I inherited a small collection about 14 years ago when Dad passed on. I&#039;ve been in the process of selling it (years going by and, somehow, never selling any of it) when I finally figured out that I&#039;m keeping it and want to collect myself. And now of course....... I have the bug. But things sure have changed since I goofed around with coins &amp; Dad back in the late 60&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>The issue: a book of WLs (1916-1936) with coins in the last 10 slots but none in the earlier ones (the coins are low grade). I want to get the earlier ones (so far so good) but Dad&#039;s coins are either dirty or toned (I&#039;ll try to put in a couple of pictures to illustrate). I don&#039;t want to go for a ride on ebay and get low grade coins that somehow have a bright shine(!) Any suggestions on what a beginner might be thinking about to end up with a more matched looking set when all that&#039;s required are coins in VG or so, give or take a hair?</p><p><br /></p><p>I sure would appreciate any thoughts on this!&nbsp; Best, Scott[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
