<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 1988847, member: 70703&quot;][USER=19094]@robec[/USER] thanks for pointing that out, it was a question I had after looking today. Medoraman mentioned in his original reply that a coin this old would always be brown, but that&#039;s not turning out to be the case. I wonder if what was meant was any coin *with disturbed or circulated surfaces* would always be brown. Nonetheless I&#039;ve seen a good sampling of these in AU holders with good luster too them, like the one above from my more recent reply, although that&#039;s not an AU sample.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I will say this...almost every one I&#039;ve looked at today, where the TPG actually did notate the color (i.e. RD, BN, RD-BN), have all been noted as BN even though they look RD or RD-BN. They&#039;ve not had the color to them notated in the grade, but when they did notate the color...again it was always BN...so maybe that&#039;s what was meant with the statement that they would almost always bee brown.</p><p><br /></p><p>who knows...been a good learning day for me though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
