1831 Copper US Cent ---- Is this a Red Brown classification?

I saw this coin on a website and was immediately struck by the colour of it. So one purchase later, I'm now the proud owner. Looking at the NGC website there are 3 classifications for copper coins. A BN (Brown) classification is less than 15% red lustre, and RB (Red Brown) 15 - 85% red lustre and RD (Red) over 85% red lustre.

To my eyes there seems to be plenty of red but NGC have only ever graded 6 RB coins out of some 370 odd coins so they are rare beasts to come across.

This is very new territory for me and was wondering if the are any better qualified people then me to make a judgement before it goes for grading.

There are a couple of my photos and the original dealer photos.

Cheers
