<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2908966, member: 76863"]Yes really. You are/should be well aware that red coins are far more likely to be submitted and that there are numerous brown Indians as one example out there that aren't worth being submitted which would significantly lower the percentage of red ones out of the totals. By excluding those red percentages are artificially inflated. The other older series flat out don't show large numbers of red coins even just looking at the graded ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>With the over a million red coins over 50 years old 50 years ago was 1967, you are/should be aware that the overwhelming majority of those red coins are Lincolns. If you count ungraded ones its almost certainly over 90%. Lumping them in with older series makes it sound like red is more common than it really is on those. Of course there's a ton of red Lincolns, they've been saved in huge numbers by the roll/bag ect and there were billions and billions of them minted between the very first one and the 50 year ago mark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
