Message:: [QUOTE="andyluw12, post: 1246526, member: 31552"]I love your enthusiasm for coins! Red (R) actually refers to a coin that is near mint or uncirculated state and lacks corrosion or damage. The next color down is Red Brown (RB), and the third is Brown (BR). Think of coins in these colors as close to new-looking as possible. Below are examples of each color for a 1982. Hope this helps! May I ask where on the internet you have been doing research? There are links on doubled dies for you on one of your other threads,  and we can provide you with many more if you have other interests. Personally I have had great luck with hand rolls and even found a Red Brown 1909 VDB in one (my avatar) as well as several AU (Almost Uncirculated) coins through 1960 and some wheaties. If you'd like some assistance with specific years or varieties send me a PM and I'd love to help you out![/QUOTE]
