Many Brown coins contain as much as 5% Red surfaces and are described as being Brown only.

A lot of coins fall into this category and many coins may actually contain more Red than Brown surfaces. The hidden gems are the coins that display about 90 to 95% Red surfaces but are described as Red Brown surfaces, having just missed the full Red color designation.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><span style="color: #ff0000">The definition of a Red coin is </span></font>a coin that has at least 95% Red and up to 100% Red surfaces. That extra 1% or 5% of the original Red color usually costs collectors huge premiums. These are the coins which most collectors yearn for and there is unquestionably intense competition in this popular arena. However, there are hidden gems for Red coins too, and there are coins with exceptional strikes and clean, eye-appealing surfaces that can still be discovered, as many collectors don&#039;t bother look for the aforementioned bonus features since they are only satisfied in obtaining a full Red example.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #00ff00">This photo illustrates coins having various percentages of either red or brown, thus making the coin considered either red, red-brown, or brown. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/capture-_2019-01-25-11-56-36-png.881629/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #a6ff4d">If you can look at pictures and you can estimate the amount of brown covering the coin&#039;s surface, you can tell which category it belongs to.
