One must be aware that the US TPGs and ICCS do not use the same criteria when designating the color of bronze coins. See below:

This coin would never receive a 'RED' by any US TPG.

    As far as I know that PCGS is tougher than ICCS on giving RED comment to coppers.

    Don is absolutely correct. ICCS seems to call 80% and up RED, while PCGS is 95% RED.
