<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eskychess, post: 168718, member: 4692&quot;]I&#039;m just curious. If you take a MS-65 Brown Penny and a MS-65 Red Brown Penny and a MS-65 RED Penny it is clear they are different specimens. On a MS-65 Brown Penny say - what makes it so chocolate brown like that? Am I correct in assuming that ALL pennies are RED when the come off the press? And then they age somehow and even though a BROWN one was never really abused, it mixed with the air or something an went from RED to BROWN? Whenever I see an old CHOCOLATE BROWN coin with superb detail I think the thing has almost encased itself in something to preserve itself for almost ever! The only thing that could take it down is regular wear. I don&#039;t know, high quality brown coins are all I&#039;m going to get in some of those early Lincolns and my Collection is BU up to 1929 d ... so I guess I had better start getting used to BROWN pennies with superb detail if I want my collection to improve because I&#039;m getting to the hundreds and thousands of dollars mark in cost for nice older pennies. Any info on this would be great - Thanks again</p><p><br /></p><p>Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
