Think like a dealer who is buying

 

Very good advice.

 

And a great deal of really beautiful coins posted here.

This is a coin I love. Not slabbed.

 

B?

Mike, I picked up an 1835 MS 65 RB in that series about two years ago. It has roughly 50% RD and the only spot is in the 'armpit' of the T of "Half Cent" on the reverse so it very hard to see. I think Shylock is still in love with it (sorry, no image).

Mike,

 

Here is a Lincoln with toning that I love. It has what I would call red centers with a ring of iridescent green around the rims. This coin would probably be graded as a red/brown, but I would take it over a full red anytime.

There are some beautiful coins posted here!

 

John, I really adore that Wheat cent you have, I have an '09-VDB that is graded PCGS MS64RD that is very similar in "feel" to your '19. Of course, the PCGS coin is in a first generation holder and, as such, it might have been a little more red when it was slabbed, however, I doubt it highly as the color looks stable and correct.

 

Here is one coin graded BN that is really, truly completely blue and another graded BN that is wonderfully purple. I have shown both here before.
