IHC reverse: red or red-brown?
I really like IHC's but am by no means an expert, especially when it comes to proofs. Please take a look at the pictures of this reverse and let me know if you think it would qualify as a red or a red-brown. Thanks!

very close to red though from what i see...
Check out my current listings: https://ebay.com/sch/khunt/m.html?_ipg=200&_sop=12&_rdc=1
Image 1 the wreath/shield/denomination looks red and the fields look RB
Image 2 the wreath/shield/denomination looks brown and the fields look mostly RD
All a result of light angles and the games these coins play with them,
I don't think anyone other than you (if it's your coin) can say for sure.
But I vote RB on gut instinct
I vote RB. some images of full red proofs with deep mirrors will show up with black fields! It really has to be an in-hand judgement.

Rick,
Agreed, and I've seen full RD proofs w/o mirrors exhibit the same olive tone as image 1 in the fields.
