Problem is the 1866 you posted has very little curb appeal. Maybe even worse that the 1863 you posted. You can collect coins based upon the PCGS/ANA grading standards, but they will not provide you an attractive collection. Only a collection that rates high in their grading standard. I tend to collect coins that have the greatest eye appeal, at the highest possible grade available. Not the highest graded coins that are POP 1, but have no distinguishing features.
Color on copper is a very natural progression. Old RD copper is just not believable........although I do have a 1906 IHC RD coin that I bought over 60 years ago.

Thanks for your advice.
I sure do miss the OP. Broadstruck was one of a kind. May he rest in peace.
Merry Christmas, all. 🎄
