Nothing special with regard to date or mintmark but I love 66BN Lincolns. Hopefully someday, someone will make a 67BN at PCGS!

I love the red streaks.
Nice looking coins!

I REALLY like the reverse on your IHC mgoodm3.

Really? They graded this old copper:

I posed the question on the Q&A forum and received a reply from one of the PCGS Executives. Basically, the reply was that it was very unlikely that a brown Lincoln would ever have the luster or eye appeal needed to make a 67. There are no Lincolns or IHC's graded 67BN. I believe that we will see one at some point.
I am surprised to see your 67BN Sou, Colonial Union. Was that graded recently?

About a year ago. And it's not mine.

Brown copper with a nice skin are the way to go IMHO.

I agree completely. The RD designation is also used rather arbitrarily in many cases, and the premium just isn't worth it in many cases, IMO. A super clean MS-66BN beats an MS-65RB in terms of eye appeal almost every time.
