BN, nice pics.

nwcs · November 30, 2005 4:21AM

borderline BN/RB. I think it just misses RB. So I'll go with BN.

I don't think our opinions regarding the coin's proper color designation should necessarily reflect upon the skills of the photographer.

The coin looks like a "BN" which misses "RB" by a little bit. However, for all we know, it might have looked like that at the time it was graded and still received a "RB" designation out of generosity. Or, it might have displayed more "RD" color when it was certified, but since mellowed.

I think the coin is RB.

It looks like a BN...but I wouldn't be suprised if it looked a little lighter in hand which would mean it received a RB designation.

1907Quarter · November 30, 2005 4:49AM

yeah, I just chose the darker pic because it appears lighter on my screen, and not TOO light. Later today I'll repost the pic which was taken with a longer exposure setting!!

BN - The obv. seems to have some nice reds but over all, I think the coin is BN

MikeInFL · November 30, 2005 4:58AM

A value opportunity in BN. I like the looks of this one...Mike

Brown, just not enough red left.

Beautiful to see you put your 2 cents in!!!!

Your sig line proves your photo skills but trying to photo this borderline RB 2-Cent piece under plastic proves you're a very brave forum poster. Good luck

I see alot of red around the banner down the side of the obverse. Also red around UNITED on the reverse. If what I'm seeing is truely red coin and not a product of the actual image then I'd be inclined to call this a RB coin. I think PCGS and NGC would most likely call it BN though.

NumisOxide · November 30, 2005 5:16AM

BN

F117ASR · November 30, 2005 5:18AM

RB

Shylock-
so is that what's giving me conniptions?!

curly · November 30, 2005 5:38AM

From the picture, BN all the way

Longacre · November 30, 2005 7:32AM

BN, IMHO

EJB · November 30, 2005 7:44AM

.....Brown....IMHO....

JRocco · November 30, 2005 7:52AM

Based on the pics- I would say that coin was brown

sleeper · November 30, 2005 7:53AM

While there is definately some Red left on the coin, personally i think it would slab BN atm, as the grading services can see the coin surfaces are unstable and toning at the moment. A grading service that guarentees the color of copper coin wouldn't risk a RB call on this one as it will most likely still keep turning in the holder after certified.

A question on behalf of all the novices with copper: what defines RD, RB, & BN? How are the standards measured?

lloydmincy · November 30, 2005 8:01AM

I thought it looked RB immediately.

DMWJR · November 30, 2005 8:08AM

rb to me....but i am an optimist.

1907Quarter · November 30, 2005 9:21AM

new pic added to reveal red at expense of a little washout

1907Quarter · November 30, 2005 9:26AM

a third pic, in between, actually the identical pic with #1 but more exposure. is it the best of the three obvs?

<< <i>is it the best of the three obvs? >>

Yes.

coinkat · November 30, 2005 11:04AM

First, nice pictures and it is an attractive coin.

I tend to think this is a tough call but I think it misses RB, HOWEVER, the third picture makes the call even closer... its a keeper and that is what matters most.

robertpr · November 30, 2005 11:05AM

I still think it looks BN.

ldhair · November 30, 2005 11:06AM

RB

zkcoins · November 30, 2005 11:25AM

my vote goes BN from the pics. I can see hints of red but doesn't look like enough for it to go RB!

DMWJR · November 30, 2005 11:29AM

Might get an RB across the street, but not here.

1907Quarter · November 30, 2005 12:33PM

damn these slabs! 41st pic and some major results-got a more even lighting going so the middle of the coin is not dark!

1907Quarter · November 30, 2005 12:34PM

btw it is a PCGS RB, but because the slab doesn't allow for direct lighting I reall y can't get the reds in full bloom. It actually is about 55% red on the obverse!
