GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8941 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 6:51 pm @Nqsss The RB is a color designtion. For copper coins we use three color designations to descibe the color and luster of a coin. RD, stands for Red. Obviously the best, it means full origninal color and luster. RB, stands for red brown. Usually for coins with 35%-80% of the original red color. Still nice but luster will be subdued. BN, stands for brown. For coins with 30% or lower of original luster. Most have either no red color left and will be a brown color. Others are left with attractive toning, or may show hints of red in the sheltered devices. Report this Post to the Staff

PCGS Red has to be 95% red or more while NGC it's only 80% red or more. PCGS BN is 5% or less red, NGC it's 15% or less red. RB is obviously everything in between Report this Post to the Staff

I could live with 90% for Red but NGC is simply to low at 80% for that in my opinion Report this Post to the Staff
