Another Matte Proof Lincoln---- BROWN?????

Ngc PF 65 brown. Should be a purple color designation. The scratch on the reverse is on the holder.

Very nice. nice pics.

Thanks guys. Yes they are my pics. Still trying to figure out the camera and lighting, ect. I've learned a lot from reading the posts of mgoodm3 and shylock.

I really love the way these matte proofs tone. I'm working on a set with similiar toning. I figure I should have it completed in about 10 or 20 years. LOL

That has been monkeyed with. The color is not natural.

Can someone explain why the second 1 looks like it was punched onto the coin instead of in the die ?

(there's a depression around the digit)

ss350, I think that is just the lighting and the toning. It looks normal in hand.

Coppercoins, The coin is brown when looked straight on. Only when it is tilted does the toning come to life. I have heard this is quite common since they were usually stored in tissue paper.

I like it!

It does look like several other tissue toned matte proof Lincolns I've seen. It also sounds like it when you described that the coin looks brown straight on and you need to tilt the coin to bring the toning to life.

I have a similar non-proof lincoln with similar toning (Brown when looked at straight on and toned when tilted) Perfectly natural.

These matte proofs are cool.

Matte proofs - the caviar of the proof world of coins! Superb piece.
