PR66BN CAC Die 1, ex G99G Monster Toned Rasinet. Tough date to find toned brown and high grade. This matte boasts the quintessential olive color, and carries a nice flashy look on both sides.
PR66+RB CAC Die 1, Quite the eye-appealing and well struck MPL. Fabulous color with splashes of green and magenta, and a very flashy look under the light. Thanks Liz Coggan!
PR66RB, CAC. Ex, Larry Shapiro. Full red obverse with a pale green overtone. Slightly mellowed reverse. I would not argue with a full red designation. Incredibly lovely and completely devoid of any marks or spots. Among a small handful of the very best of this issue. Thanks, Larry!
PR66RB CAC Also ex. Richard Shapiro-Monster Toned set. ex. BWRC Hall of Fame coin. Beautiful matte purple obverse, and just a splash to frame the reverse center that looks more like a swirl of varying orangeness in hand. Gorgeous!
PR67RB CAC Ex. Richard Shapiro-Gobrecht’s Iridescent Rasinets. Also ex. BWRC Hall of Fame, acquired I believe from Mike Stefano. Headlight obverse, almost full red and prettier than most. Reverse is much more matted. Still quite charming and not at all washed out as the photo may suggest. Even in a box of winners this coin is a standout.
PR66BN, ex. Richard Shapiro-Monster Toned Rasinets, BWRC Hall of Fame. Incredible matte surfaces on this coin are the creamiest I have ever seen, with fewer flaws to boot! Almost no imperfections, I predict this coin will be in a higher graded holder one day.
PR66+BN, CAC. Source: Heritage. Far Out! Ranks among the nicest I've seen in the MPL series. No need to tilt the coin for the full effect, this bad boy looks awesome no matter which way you look!
PR66BN, ex. Richard Shapiro-Rasinets, BWRC Hall of Fame. This is simply one of the most visually striking MPLs I have seen. I consider myself lucky to be able to look at it whenever I want.
PR66+BN, CAC. Ex. Jack Slattery, AKA Curly. My longest-owned MPL, dating back to 2008. Great color! Obverse ripples with a wrinkled foil-like effect. Reverse less so, but wonderfully colorful.
PR66RB CAC, ex Richard Shapiro-Monster Toned Rasinets, BWRC Hall of Fame. This has long been one of my favorite coins from this collection, and for good reason! May not be the king of brown flash in my set, that honor belongs to my first 1911, but it could be the dark prince! Honestly, I don’t quite understand the RB designation other than to say that the flash of color on this coin is vivid, and parts of it could be considered darkly toned “red”. Regardless, I am just ridiculously happy to own this coin!
PR67+RB, CAC. Source: Angel Dee's. Obverse is a beautiful, barely muted red color with just a splash of color near the rims, but the reverse center is as perfect a red as the day it was made, framed by darker red that fades into a rainbow at the rims. Perhaps the ultimate look for a copper cent!
A returning friend! BWRC "Hall of Fame" coin. This coin has booming dark luster and super clean looks. Early die state without the die polish lines under the chin. The lighter coloration on the bust against the dark fields impart a nice cameo appearance. And the strike is just amazing. It has the most penetrating strike I've ever seen on a 1914, with the extra clean look of an early die state. Almost looks like a Specimen Striking for this issue. Also has this beautiful pinkish red blending seamlessly into dark purple throughout. Mmmmm. Thanks Brian the first time around. And thanks AngelDee's for helping bring it back to me.
PR66RB, CAC. LDS. Source: Edelman's. Original and nice. No marks. Vibrant obverse. Plenty of tiny carbon spots. Original! I just love the three colored reverse, vivid red, original copper, purple and green.
PR66+ BN, CAC. Source: Iowa Great Lakes Coin. Really more of a blue than PCGS' photo suggests. This is what original blue copper should look like. Both sides quite lustrous with uniform color on the obverse and a splash of light plum in the central reverse. Great!
PR66RB, CAC. Die 1. A returning Old Friend. Previously purchased in 2009 from Brian Wagner. I called this “The Brillo Pad Coin” for its endlessly intricate surfaces. Great “fire underneath” RB obverse, with the reverse reminiscent of an actual campfire. Thanks to young Max Brand for bringing this back to me!
