How much red do you need to be RB, my uneducated guess is not enough here and it would be brown. This coin would definitely grade BN. There is not nearly enough red left to get RB. I could be wrong, but if I remember right, RB is defined as having anywhere between 5% to 95% red left (someone correct me if I'm wrong), which doesn't narrow it down a whole lot. I love looking for RB coins that are more red than brown. They can often be had at significant discounts from RD coins and usually look very nearly as nice. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 12/06/2010 11:56 pm I believe RD=95% red or better, BN=<5% of red, with the rest being RB. I could be wrong, but that's how I understood it. Report this Post to the Staff

Actually, it's a cheap little program called Paint Shop Pro....well worth the cost and it's much easier to use than Photoshop. Lincoln Cent Lover!

timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 12/07/2010 09:23 am I've used Paint Shop Pro since 1995. Used to teach it online. I beta tested for JASC and got version 6.0 for the work. Still have it but I've moved on to the GIMP because it supports a transparency layer in my PNGs. It's free too! Also, the elliptical cropping tool is the bomb. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 7:46 pm The coin is definitely brown - no shot at red/brown. The fields are nice, the strike is good. No reason why it wouldn't grade MS64BN. I would pay that money for it. Report this Post to the Staff
