My thoughts on brown exactly. I have fifty five large copper middle dates(and counting) and they are all brown. Nice 1892!

Browns are beautiful when you add the right lighting!!!

And they're much more unique.....I've seen "Brown" designations that are gorgeous mixes of purple and blue...much prettier and more interesting than just simply red.  Nice pick up!

Nice...

Cheaper too... And eventually, they'll all be brown, though it may take a while. As a large cent collector, I think brown is much more attractive. So many "red" ones are ugly, with spots and fingerprints.

The Indian you pictured is stunning. Just the right amount of luster to make it stand out. I filled a book before I knew what I was doing. I went for the bright flashy ones, and guess what? Most were dipped and polished so 80%  cannot be graded. Keep posting your coins as you acquire them.

That's a beauty. I love indian cents. They were the first set that I completed.
