And thank you sir. The image was taken by someone else. With your help I'm able to post this and other coins.

Oh man, I'm now sitting in a puddle and I'm not sure if it's drool or I just wet my pants! Damn, that puppy is beautiful! Can I share mine?



When it grows up, it wants to be just like yours!

Hey Russ, here's a another member of the family in RB...

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:

Here's the 1869 from my circulated set:



It's in an old Wayte Raymond album.

You both have nice looking '71s.

Paul, yours has the look of a proof.

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 would buy an NGC 67RB, especially if they looked like that. I've seen 2 NGC two centers in 67RD. I couldn't get them out of my hands fast enough.

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
