I'm putting this coin on the cover of my catalog:
Its not rare, but it has a very unusual almost electric glow around the devices that I've seen only once before on a colonial coin- on the obverse of this Fugio ex-Stack's Ford collection:

Personally, I have always liked the covers with multiple headliner coins. I am sure that you have others that you could include, as well.

BTW two very nice coins CCU
I merely showed it as the only other colonial example I've ever seen with similarly electric luster leaping from the coin's surface. Wild, wild stuff there.
I'm sure there are other coins like it somewhere, but I haven't seen them.
OK then.

Probably because they have been doctored over the years to get them to a full red designation. I see so many "RD" coppers in holders that are more "pink" than "red".

Both of these coins are a country mile away from full red designation, so much so that I doubt even the most ambitious coin doctor could think he could get them there or that doing so would be a profitable journey.
I'd pay a substantial premium for a brown or red brown coin with this kind of gusto - most full reds (even the real ones) aren't this attractive.
