What color would you consider this 1941 Lincoln Wheat to be?

Dreverett1

Red or Red/brown or brown? Im thinking red/brown. I took some close ups also which may appears as a possible FS 102.

It's a circulated cent with fully circulated surfaces.

Brown every day of the week on that one.

Most likely brown, however your photo white balance is so off it is difficult to say for sure. As to your thought that this might be FS 102, not even close; in fact I see no match to any of the 27 DDO's listed on Variety Vista.

I’m seeing a shade of brown. The color appears off and I’m not a fan of black background. Perhaps different lighting will help. As for the variety, I’m not seeing it. Thanks for sharing your post

On a circulated coin? No.

Definitely not 41-P FS-102 (DDO) or any other documented variety. You are seeing strike doubling or something similar. It is not a collectible variety.

As for the color, Brown (BN), Red and Brown (RB) and Red (RD) are designations tied to copper coins in the Mint State (MS), aka Uncirculated grades of 60 through 70. The coin in the photos is AU.

Brown unless you decide to strip off the coin’s original surface. Then it will be a “details,” no grade coin.

That coin is brown... and would be in the pictures if the lighting was not so harsh. No DD.... Cheers, RickO

Brown, but leaning green on the first few photos.

Perhaps the OP has red-brown color blindness?
