"Red" Cents.

Yes, I would consider that "Red". They do carry a premium - a small one for later dates; the premium gets larger as you go back into the wheats. Prices for Red coloring rise quickly once you get before 1934.

There are probably lots of opinions of how to best store them. I use a Dansco album for mine. I think as important as what they are stored in (2x2, album, etc.) is the condition they are stored in. Humidity is bad; light is bad; chemical traces are bad.

Dansco I've used for my Lincoln cents and it ruined a lot of them. The sliding plastic mars the hight points of the coin and the album tones bu coins into something a lot less desireable. Keep you money and store them in 2 X 2's or non PVC flips. For tube storage I've had problems with the soft square tubes, PVC problems. But the hard square tubes and the clear plastic tubes works better for me.

Luster and color are not interchangeable. Color is a property of the metal while luster(microscopic flow lines) is created by the striking of the coin- a Brown Lincoln can still be lustrous.
