First for me, I've caught some light color ones, but this one was blonde in my opinion. Is this rare? Thinking about putting it on taxidermy.net

I would call that a cinnamon.

ive read all about "true cinnamon" vs not, not sure what makes it a true cinnamon, but looks pretty neat to me.

yep,i'd call it a cinnamon,great job.

I'd consider that a true cinnamon. Have one almost identical hanging on my wall. Congrats on the rare catch! I've only taken two cinnamons out of thousands of coon.

Nice cinnamon!

Less than 1% of coon taken are that colour.

Blonde or cinnamon or what ever color you want to call it - neat color Raccoon and rather rare. Taxidermy market is the way to go. Unless you want to keep it for yourself.

Nice catch.

Depending on how much I could sell it for as is, might determine whether I keep it for myself or not. If it's only worth $50, I'll have it mounted. Any idea on pricing on these things? Was probably 12lbs, not huge, but very nice looking.

It is a cinnamon , I have got few, yes taxidermy , I doubt much pelt value, or have it tan, I had a true albino coon tan

I have only caught one that color in 50 years and 1000s of coon, although this last year I caught a red one. Same color as a fox, it's a little one though.

it'd take a bunch to keep it off my wall

well the more I think about it, I agree. But for the right price tag, it would look real good on someone else's wall too. I just don't know what they are worth. Tried a search on taxidermy.net, but for some reason I can't pull up any threads on their website right now.

Nice catch! I call it cinnamon I have one on my wall. Only one I caught out of many thousands. But only maybe half of the many thousands that Dave plueger has caught.

yes,thats cinnamon,,sold a real blonde yrs ago for 3 bucks,,pre internet days

Cool catch!!!

Cinnamon. I caught 1 some years ago, it is hanging on the wall. I was told they are quite common, I caught exactly 1 in 54 years trapping.

I caught one this year and my taxidermist said hed give 30 for it which is good considering the prices but im getting it tanned, didnt plan on selling anyways even if price was hundreds may never catch another

I’m with wissmiss, call it what you want . I’m gonna call it COOL!!!
Congrats

caught 3 one year about 35 years ago never got another I wish I would have kept one
