You all like nice coins and have a wealth of key knowledge here.

This DP #1 cent came to me by auction in the early or mid 80's.

How many are out there with red,... or red&brown,...and are also in nice or high grade..? I will include the grade but want your views or criticisms on it too.

Is there a die crack through the right arm of the T in Victoria ... I don't see one and every #1 I've ever seen has one. It's tough to tell your grade through 2 layers of plastic and a monitor, but nice coin.
Rest in Peace

The link below might help with a positive ID. I agree the photo looks like 62RB, but grading from photos taken through plastic is a crap shoot. There are maybe 12 to 15 of these in 63 or 64, with none higher that I know about. The two best ones I have seen are in PCGS 64 RD holders, the ex-Belzberg piece (now in the Melron PCGS registry set) and the ex-Palmer piece (now in the Willamette PCGS registry set).
