[QUOTE="clembo, post: 236830, member: 8033"]Well Twiggs a red cent is closer in color than a brown coin as it rolled out of the mint. Even in lower MS grades the collectors prize them for the "original" mint coloring. In general one might say the older the red coin the more valuable it is. I'm a two cent junkie and own but one that would be considered red. They just tone after 140 years or so. I guess that's why I appreciate a hard, glossy brown so much. Can't afford the red ones with what I collect.[/QUOTE]
