Wow! CAM proofs 1936-42 seem to be getting the appreciation they deserve! Well, really all high grade proofs from the era.

Wow.

Guess I should start cherrypicking raw proof Lincoln cents from 1936 to 1942.

Good luck, nice raw ones are few and far between. the PR65 barrier is a difficult one to cross.

So true.

However you never know what you will find unless you look.

To date I have had luck cherrypicking 1939 to 1942 proof sets and snagging a number of coins (nickels through halves) that have graded PF65 through PF67. The cents are the most difficult.

TTT.

So in addition to the huge hammer price for the 1951 DCAM Lincoln Cent, what did the other 1950-1958 Proof Lincoln cents in Mr. Blay's collection sell for?

No graded MS or Proof Lincoln is actually Red (partially or fully).
