This is one of my favorite coins. This is the coin that turned me toward the darkside - literally, BN copper.

    I usually don't like brown copper too much, but that one is nice!

    Beautiful Matte Proof Cent. Superb photography. I can see every detail in the "matte." Your photo skills are exceedingly strong. Looks like a pr66bn to me. What is the grade? What kind of camera did you use to photograph it? matteproof

    That's one of the best images showing matte proof surfaces that I've ever seen.

    Nice. It's a coin (and photograph) like this that makes you realize just how bad our freshly struck no-relief™ Lincolns really are.

    Extra credit question: Is natural dark brown copper the new rainbow toned monster?

    Excellent picture. It really brings out the matte proof surface.

    I tried to get a picture of my 1910 proof, but I kept getting glare from the holder.

    Concur! My 2005 cents look very cheaply made compared to the 1911 proof!

    I love matte proof Lincolns. Maybe even better than proof IHC's. Maybe...image

    Yours is a winner!!!
