Jus magnificent! Never seen one like it...

 

Now what about the red?! is it a way of describing the tone or does it stand for something, as it just sems to say 'RD' on the label.

Sometimes they used to get kept in individual metal capsule's to protect the coin and its lustre.

RD stand for RED

BN or ANACS BRN stands for brown

and

RB stands for RED BROWN

 

I have seen many coins called RB which only have a hint of brown on them. It's quite hard to get an RD designation.

Thanks Huss' - I guess there isn't much space for a 'E' on those little labels eh?
