The below code will allow me to type the number of times to copy a sheet.

Code:
    Dim I As Long    Dim xNumber As Integer
    Dim xName As String
    Dim xActiveSheet As Worksheet
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set xActiveSheet = ActiveSheet
    xNumber = InputBox("Enter number of times to copy the current sheet")
    For I = 1 To xNumber
        xName = ActiveSheet.Name
        xActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(xName)
        ActiveSheet.Name = I
    Next
    xActiveSheet.Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

what I like to add is for it to color each tab to a different color and also change value of a cell in each sheet to = I any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
This will change the tab colour
Code:
   Dim I As Long
   Dim xNumber As Integer
    Dim xName As String
    Dim xActiveSheet As Worksheet
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set xActiveSheet = ActiveSheet
    xNumber = InputBox("Enter number of times to copy the current sheet")
    For I = 1 To xNumber
        xName = ActiveSheet.Name
        xActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(xName)
        ActiveSheet.Name = I
        [COLOR=#ff0000]ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex = I[/COLOR]
    Next
    xActiveSheet.Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
I'm not sure what you mean with the 2nd part part of your question.

   Dim xNumber As Integer
    Dim xName As String
    Dim xActiveSheet As Worksheet
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set xActiveSheet = ActiveSheet
    xNumber = InputBox("Enter number of times to copy the current sheet")
    For I = 1 To xNumber
        xName = ActiveSheet.Name
        xActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(xName)
        With ActiveSheet
         .Name = I
         .Tab.ColorIndex = I
         .Range("C3") = I
      End With
    Next
    xActiveSheet.Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
