Here are a couple of my favorites - 1888/7 S1 and the 1887 S1 DDO - beautiful, proof-like, why did I sell it.......

I love copper coins, don't get me wrong. It just scares the crap out of me. I would hate to buy a RED coin and then in 20-30 years have it look RB. Then there are the DOCS that have been known to recolor things, fill things, nose grease things etc....all of that scares me. I guess I have been able to educate myself over the years with silver(and some nickel) coinage and that is where I find my comfort zone. I'm a scaredy-cat when it comes to copper.

This one is just back from PCGS (I posted it on the Copper thread) and graded PF66 RB - I love it and it is definitely a keeper! These are old photos taken when it was raw, so I plan to have Todd photograph it in Long Beach.
