<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7901025, member: 101855&quot;]This piece is graded MS-65, R&amp;B, CAC, and I believe that it is original. I have owned this piece for nine years, and it has not turned. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1364340[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the &quot;R&amp;B&quot; label, I believe that this is a &quot;red&quot; as old copper can be. The color, if it is real, is subdued. It does not &quot;flash&quot; like a 2021 cent fresh out of the mint. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another one, also graded &quot;R&amp;B&quot; that I have owned for six years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1364342[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>More than two decades ago, I got stuck with a &quot;red&quot; 1854 Large Cent that changed color, despite proper storage, within six months. I have learned what appears to be original and what isn&#039;t. Despite that, I usually my my old copper coins with &quot;Brown&quot; surfaces. They cost less, and have less downside risk from &quot;turning.&quot; I know that this one is stable. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1364343[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
