Here's a couple of nice RED proofs that we just bought. The 1938 is a PR66 on the obverse but the reverse has a few spots that keep it from a higher grade. The 1939 is spot free but but has a few marks on the reverse. Both are very RED for the early proofs and very flashy. Not sure why I bought them but I did.
This is one I've been looking for. It's a 1939 Jefferson reverse of 1940. Great strong steps. It's hazy but that can be easily fixed. It does have one nasty spot on it that is tough to help. I think once the haze is removed it will go PR65 (hopefully) but the spot may hold it back. I plan on getting this one in a PCGS holder then will go into my variety registry set.

Nice pick on the Reverse of '40 ... these coins are very underrated by most on the scarcity scale ... and have to like any 30s Lincoln proofs with some red and flash ... many of them are outright dogs, unfortunately.
