RB?
But, I see what you mean
BHNC #203
Top one: red
bottom one: red brown
Bottom one is toned and of a lower grade. Both are red IMO
I’m in agreement with the above post by a red copper connoisseur. Both of the coins look RD to me, as well. But even if you disagree, those two coins still serve as good illustrations of the point that there are different colors/shades within each classification of BN, RB and even RD.

I would call it worth less money, color notwithstanding.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” For Einstein, honesty was fundamental. Attention to truth in small things reflected a person’s integrity on a larger scale.
I would say they are both red.

The second coin certainly lives in the twilight zone of red to red brown.... In the chart by @1Mike1, just look at the last one in Red and the first one in Red Brown....Cheers, RickO
