Another huge dollar-sized coin Japan, Hoei Tsuho 10 mon 1708 A failed experiment to try to curb the copper shortage crisis, these were minted for a few months in late 1708, failed to catch on, then withdrawn in early 1709.   |

Great coins being posted here. I'm not sure if were hitting the nail on the head with regards to luster. We could start a seprate thread called "Dull Brownies". I hope I'm not the only one thinking theres a lackluster here. I dont want this thread to be perpetuating the wrong terminology. Imho.

Commemorative PEI medal, struck in 1971, a limited number were struck in proof copper, which toned nicely...

My 1924 Canadian cent, PCGS MS-66 Brown. It is the ONLY one (even if you include the red-brown and Red coins) at PCGS graded at MS-66.

One of my favourite lustrous brown coins... graded MS-64 Brown at PCGS (and probably undergraded...)

This one is a bit more green than brown, but I think it qualifies. Rome, Emperor Jovian 363-364  Jovian ruled for a little under 8 months. He was elected when his predecessor took a spear to the chest in a battle against Persia, then himself died when he failed to properly ventilate his tent before lighting a charcoal warming fire, suffocating on carbon monoxide. Ironically the coin commemorates his vows to serve for many years (VOT = public bow of service; VOT V MVLT X basically means "I vow to serve for 5 years, and God(s) willing, for 10.") @bd251, the 30 kreuzer are actually quite cheap when they do show up for auction; I think I won that one from "ufomechanix" for under $15. |
