Thanks for the great welcome into the coincommunity.com forum! Such a friendly place! I am going to call Mr. Snow now and see about getting my Judd-228 authenticated.

That ebay Judd-228 is about $1000 over-priced from what I have been looking at. I believe mine will go for VF-35 to maybe XF-45 depending on the person grading it. I would only be expecting to get $500-$1000 out of it. |

After looking at the ebay example, something occured to me...why is this superb example not labeled as Red / Red Brown at the least? Looks really nice to me, especially as MS65 CAC. |

Possibly because it is coppernickel and not copper.

Coppernickel? It can't be that simple...can it?  Edited by oih82w8

One way to find out would be to look and see if they use the color designations for the 1857 - 1863 cents. They are coppernickel as well.

that's right, no red or red/brown designations on copper-nickel indians/FE cents. If you find yourself a nice red copper nickel cent, you should consider going the other way.

 Exactly. The nickel alloy prevents copper from toning the same way. If anything, it probably helped more early IHCs survive the environment. |

 Still looking for a J-228 within my price range. Too bad about Rick Snow's being sold for $850...I could have managed that one.  Edited by oih82w8
