<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nojreyd, post: 1158595, member: 30385&quot;]It all comes down to what you are looking to find.&nbsp; When I search cents I don&#039;t look for all the cherrypicker errors like Re-Punched Mint Marks, D over S, etc.&nbsp; Some say I probably should.&nbsp; I look for wheats, double-dies, common error coins, anything odd, and I also sort out any mint-state coins and other BU coins.&nbsp; Red is the designator for the color of a mint-state coin that still has the luster of the mint and has not started to brown.&nbsp; Grab a 2010 penny from your pocket, that&#039;s red.&nbsp; Now look at the cruddy 1978 penny that is the color of a brown paper bag...that&#039;s brown.&nbsp; Red/Brown is the inbetween state of the two.&nbsp; MS-Red indicates a mint state coin that has the &quot;original&quot; color still.&nbsp; MS BN is a mint-state coin that has turned brown (likely due to environment exposure).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck and have fun.&nbsp; Everybody seems to be looking for something different, but the fun part is looking!&nbsp; I told a non-collector last week why I like searching rolls.&nbsp; Its like buying instant lottery tickets.&nbsp; Most times you don&#039;t win, sometimes you do, but with coins either way you don&#039;t lose any money![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
