<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2900028, member: 76863&quot;]The population reports don&#039;t really support this claim.&nbsp; PCGS has a population of 3 for Cents/Half Cents before 1800.&nbsp; For Draped Bust Cents its 3, Draped Half cents its 14.&nbsp; 453 for the rest of the half cents and 784 for the rest of the large cents. </p><p><br /></p><p>The significant majority for red cents is from the Lincolns.&nbsp; Even with Indian head cents red is the least common color designation.&nbsp; In total PCGS has graded a little under half a million copper cents/half cents red and about 25% of those are from 1959 or later.&nbsp; NGC numbers are likely similar and you very likely won&#039;t get over a million without counting moderns.&nbsp; There is a substantial drop off in the red designation when you go back past Lincolns and another huge drop off when you go back further than Indians. </p><p><br /></p><p>There certainly may be people that have figured out how to dip copper and I believe someone probably has figured out how to be successful some of the time with it, but the pop reports aren&#039;t reading like its an easy thing to do or widespread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
