<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1015678, member: 3726&quot;]Nope - don&#039;t give up on early copper.&nbsp; Certain years and dates are known for having darker planchets. The mixture was not as perfect as it is today.&nbsp; Plus as already mentioned their can be notoriously hard to photograph to get the correct color. As it is that coin is a beaty - in my opinion.&nbsp; I also like a lighter color, but that does not detract from the coin.&nbsp; Also - if you insist on buying off ebay always ask the seller if the pictures reflect the true color of the coin. Early copper is the best their is to collect - just ask me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Also - shows are a good place to find them - especially the EAC show.&nbsp; And if you want there are several dealers on here that can look for coins for you - 900fine comes to mind first and foremost.&nbsp; You have to show a lot of patience.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one from one of my favorite sellers - <a href="http://www.largecents.net/salecoin.php?P0529" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.largecents.net/salecoin.php?P0529" rel="nofollow">http://www.largecents.net/salecoin.php?P0529</a> and another <a href="http://www.earlycoppercoins.com/1825-C2-R1-Classic-Head-Half-Cent-PCGS-AU58_p_375.html#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.earlycoppercoins.com/1825-C2-R1-Classic-Head-Half-Cent-PCGS-AU58_p_375.html#" rel="nofollow">http://www.earlycoppercoins.com/1825-C2-R1-Classic-Head-Half-Cent-PCGS-AU58_p_375.html#</a> from another favorite seller.&nbsp; You can email and ask them questions about the color.&nbsp; Both are very good people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
