If you found similarly priced Indian Head cents, one being MS63RB and the other being MS64BN, which would you suggest? The RB will obviously have more mint luster while the BN would have less marks, in general. Both have eye appeal in different ways. Suggestions? |

I would have to see it but in general RB, I would want luster.

There are too many factors at work to answer this in a simple way. Overall eye appeal is usually the guiding factor, but such a comparison would have to be judged (by us) based on pics of both specific coins.  to the CCF! |

Some of the most attractive IHCs Ive owned were BN.
Not all RB coins are equal either. Some are mostly red, some are mostly brown, so there is a large scale of variance for the color designation.

 To better answer your question . Eye appeal counts a lot .  |

All other factors being equal I'd buy the 64BN assuming it had good eye appeal.

I am more drawn to brown cents than I am red-brown. However, overall eye appeal is important to me. I would need to see both in hand to compare before making a choice.

I'd say it's a matter of personal preference. Personally I pretend to prefer brown coin over of red-brown. Frankly I would prefer a 63 Brown over a 64 red-brown.

I found an MS62RB and an MS63RB that both look great to me. The 63 has a stronger strike. I'm guessing the 63 is a better choice.

But, as has been stated it is certainly personal preference. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae
