Have your personal standards for "Red" changed over time.

Mine sure have. For me to accept a coin as "red" today it would have to be essentially 100% "red". "Red-Brown" would have to be at least 60% "Red". This seems to be another function of the shrinking definition of just what constitutes a "nice" coin. As time goes on and the collector base contracts, all forms of grading tighten.
All glory is fleeting.
