I was surprised how much the 1931 trend was compared to my other 1908 MS64 BN. I see the 1931 in a 64 red trends at $750 and I appreciate my one is brown but I paid $100 hammer so I hope I still did OK. Having said that, it doesn't look anything like the dark brown on my 1908.   |

What a relief, my knowledge on cents isn't up to much. Colour looks R and B as you say. See what it's like when it arrives eh.

If ther're not your pictures the seller may have tilted in so the light gives it the reddish look. Guess your have to wait untill it's in hand to see.

 What a price difference. I know cents are hard to keep their full red lustre unless protected from environmental abnormalities ( I guess that's why some of them are coated) A collection of red pennies is most impressive, but I will at those price variances never own a red set. |

Aren't there some other threads discussing the differences between a PCGS RED and an ICCS RED? Quite possible it would be at least an ICCS Red & Brown. Hard to tell without in hand.

You did alright on this coin for $100 anyways. However, and this is just my Two Cents, but when buying cents that aren't graded by ICCS, keep in mind that it is the standard, and that they very rarely give grades above MS63 to Brown cents. Without seeing the coin, I would suspect that it would grade MS63 Brown by ICCS, in which case trends are $225 (for 65-80% Red). |

Often we say the scan doesn't do the coin justice but in this case it is the other way round. Promptly popped into my PCGS blue box never to be looked at again or sold.

Well it seems my lack of enthusiasm is not shared on that well known auction site and lots of watchers and got a couple of bids already on a 10 day auction window.

As it was brown I didn't want to hang on to it but it sold for over twice what I paid, so an ok deal.
