Palestine - 1 Mil 1935 - PCGS 64 RD - Of 317 coins from this year graded by PCGS and NGC, only 5 are graded RD (Red). This is the highest-graded example in that color category. Bronze coins are graded by color according to three primary designations: RD (Red) – Red RB (Red-Brown) – Red-Brown BN (Brown) – Brown These designations indicate how much of the coin’s original mint color remains. The Red (RD) designation represents the ideal state, where the coin retains its original bright reddish luster. Coins graded RB or BN show varying degrees of natural oxidation over time. Collectors and graders generally seek coins with their original red color, as it best preserves the appearance of the freshly struck piece. However, in certain issues and specific years, finding coins that remain fully red is nearly impossible — making them particularly rare and highly desirable among collectors.
