<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 26621238, member: 77413&quot;]I was thinking more about my post above, and I realize that if I were a grader I would not take refuge in the myth that red copper is better than red-brown, and both are better than brown.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19094]@robec[/USER] just posted two marvelous cents that glow with reds and blues over a brown base. I would put those as more interesting than any full red coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This 1919-D has a dazzling array of colors when looked at in detail. I particularly like the pockets of red that are worked into the sculptural elements of the face. I like the touches of blue on the nose, eyebrow, and cheek. I like the tiny facets of color that make up the fields.</p><p><br /></p><p>So while I have full-red from about 1930’s onward, it’s these early years with their unique aging that I keep going back to. They’ve earned my attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1697207[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
