I'm a closet 2-cent lover. I really like the look (and price) of RB/BNs with nice original toning, like Russ's. Blast RD's like Dan's are spectacular but are so hard to find without distracting problems. Considering the size of these coppers it's a minor miracle to find an 1869 as nice as that one. A couple of mine:
A couple months ago Pinnacle had an 1865 NGC 67RB with the most amazing toning I've seen on one of these. I invited it over for a sleepover but had to pass -- an obverse spot made it overgraded -- but what a coin! Hope they don't mind me taking a pic of the reverse, I couldn't resist.
I know what your mean...I think NGC has graded 3 67RB's and one of the others I've seen was a disappointment. I could have easily lived with this one except for the price tag, so I loved it and left it

And thank you sir. The image was taken by someone else. With your help I'm able to post this and other coins.
When it grows up, it wants to be just like yours!
