A fully red cent is in it's intended original state.

A red cent has more value because it is more Mint State condition than a brown cent . Full red cents are sort after by collectors because they are harder to find in that state .If a all brown cent is not razor sharp it could be seen as a circulated coin by new collectors . RB (red& brown) can also be a problem for newbies . Long story short ,if you have a Full Red MS-67 or better Cent with no hits ,scratches or blemishes , have it sent in for grading and will be worth a lot more than an average red cent .  |

 with both of the statements above. Also, full red is scarcer = less supply = more valuable. |

Great to know! Thank you all, but how does a inexperienced collector identify FULL red cents in LWC's? Heres a couple more questions: Is a full red cent still valuable if it is found in LMC's? If a LWC has "most of it's red showing, and is around AU state, between the dates 1940-1958, is it worth putting in a 2x2 flip? Or should it just be put in an album? |

I keep a set of RD LWC's in my two Danscos. I do keep mostly RD and full RD 40's and 50's in separate rolls, but not in individual 2x2s. Pre 40's RB(red-brown) and RD coins I do keep in 2x2's if I have spares not in a Dansco. "Full red" is defined as having 95% or more of the original "red" copper color from the mint. Something like that anyway...  |

A full red cent in a Dansco will start to tone over time. Best to keep them air tight to preserve full red luster.

Should I preserve the "mostly red cents" with a 2x2 flip holder? Or should I just put them in an album? Which would be the best move since there not full red?

Air tight holder of some type. Albums allow air and moisture in not to mention sliding the clear window across the coin leaves hairline scratches.

That's a 2x2 cardboard holder . Air tights are non PVC plastic . snaps closed ,recommended for long term storage . But don't go crazy and thinking you can buy a couple of hundred of them , they are a little expensive .  |

Yes they seem a bit pricey, alright thanks! Do the air tights fit in "regular" binders?

Well...hm, is there anything I can use that will still secure the coin airtight along with fitting in a binder? Cause I would love to put my coins in a binder because there easier to store along with them looking for "neat."
