POLL: Copper

Aethelred

I like mine RB, full red is pretty, but hard to keep.

Edit: I wanna change my answer.

(I know, you said "BU". But I'll take it gilty, and Cameo proof. )

Red, if I can get it, but I actually like the other choices as well.

JZrarities

Mostly Red with a touch of Brown for highlights.

spinaker2000

most of my favorites are red/blue or brown/blue.

I wondered when "Blue Copper Guy" would post here.

MacCrimmon

Red with Danica Patrick cartwheels!!!!

That said, I also love copper with flawless surfaces in RB or with natural iridescent toning.....I bought a few just like that from Cheshire.....a blue/purple one too!!


But the show stopper was the 1870 penny in MS65RD!!!!


I was temporarily distracted and let that lot slip by, but asked that it be reopened (originally hammered at $1000 or so), and then proceeded to beat my head against the wall going to $1350, I think......if the winning bidder is reading this...MacCrimmon will make you pay, especially for coins which look like they have come straight from a time machine.

Speaking of red copper, I just sold my red 1799 halfpenny today......if it ain't Vic, it ain't gonna stick! I still have that PCGS MS66RB "Greenie" if anyone might be interested.

I got some coins that looked like they came straight from a time machine, and MacCrimmon didn't make me pay that much at all!

Sylvestius

Red, red, red, red, red and red.


I like copper in full blast red.


Failing that i like it chocolate brown. I really can't cope with copper that is Red/Brown, i just don't like the look, it's not 'even' enough.

but color isn't as important to me as clean surfaces.
When I can get full red, I'll take it

ccrdragon

full red followed by blues, greens, magentas and purples!!!!!

Conder101

A nice glossy brown. I really don't care for red or RB.

sumnom

I appear to be in the minority. I like deep chocolate brown copper.

cosmicdebris

COPPER comes in so many flavors it is hard to choose. Sometimes the design dictates what copper looks best.

mgoodm3

Brown.

JZrarities

Sometimes a nice 'Chocolate' and High-Relief makes me HAPPY.

Just bought this at the Salt Lake City show:
