[QUOTE="900fine, post: 292166, member: 6036"]Are you asking a general question, or are you talking about two specific coins you're considering ? If this is a general question, then it sounds like "buying the slab, not the coin". Not recommended. Personally, RD and RB coins [B]tend[/B] to have much better eye appeal than Brown, so I feel it is worth the extra money. Yes, it's very noticeable. But that's a GENERAL statement. It always comes down to your personal evaluation of specific coins on their own merits. So it's not possible to make a general statement that works in all cases; sometimes a nice clean Brown is better than a scuffy RB. Also... sometimes RB can be splotchy and miscolored. A nice even brown might be preferable. And the older the coin, the fewer the reds, and the greater the price differential.[/QUOTE]
