Bruin1733 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/01/2014 2:29 pm Yes, I was looking at a 1962 (P) Lincoln Cent! Now that I know, it does look a little reddish. Thank you both for the feedback. Now that you say that, I've read that certain collectors like these different colors, but alot don't. What are your thoughts on what you've seen people like? And what this may do to a coins value? Also, is there a preferred way (place or temp) that will not make a coin do this? (just in case I dont want my coins doing this, if I can help it) Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/01/2014 2:47 pm Red is the desirable state of affairs, being the original hue as-struck. RB and BN coins lose value as a result, although as you mention personal preference plays a role. I, myself, very much like Brown Lincolns, partly because they're not going to turn on me. There isn't much rhyme or reason regarding which Cents will turn Brown - there are plenty of perfectly-preserved Flying Eagles and early Indian Heads in Red, while it's not tough to find a Brown 1970's Lincoln.

The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 01/01/2014 3:09 pm I wonder what a modern proof without the cameo strike would look like? I'm thinking of an ASE or ATB Quarter or something like that. Has anyone seen something like this? Report this Post to the Staff

rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 8:51 pm I gotta say that I do like the look of mid to high grade MS brown wheats better than red. I'm actually gonna do 1934 to 1909 this way if at all possible. Report this Post to the Staff

The thought of losing significant value if something went from a rd to an rb is usually enough to scare me off. Plus I like getting higher grades cheaper with the browns or rbs.
