MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 08/08/2025 02:00 am Looks legit to me with the bold N variety reverse. I'd call it high VF to low XF. Perhaps a $400 coin if it straight grades. There are 27 varieties for this date so do your research to see if you can narrow it down. Unsure if the marks on the reverse are enough to details it. Lets see what other members have to say. Report this Post to the Staff

first4 Valued Member Australia 100 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 04:29 am Would I be correct to label this cent as RB "red brown". I have noticed grading companies commenting on colour of us cents. RD, RB etc. What's the most desirable colour sought after by collectors? Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 04:41 am The red , red brown and brown designations are typically reserved for uncirculated coin and in some cases for AU coins. Your coin is circulated and the designation doesn't apply however the first set of pictures looks brown. Report this Post to the Staff
