Dear all-
As we all know, I bought the The "Eliasberg" PCGC 1912P PR66RB from the Liston collection from Brian. The pop is 10-0.
Were are the PR66RBs?
Any direction would be apprciated.
I'm trying to include a photo - let's see if it works.

then there's those who do and for whatever reason remain ghosts to us here
i will add this thou duane...those 1912 pr66 rb's
they're in loving homes even if it's safe deposit box
it'd b neat if we saw a movement to compile a matte proof lincoln master book with 9 chapters
these matty's aren't like once you've seen one you've seen them all....they have such diverse charactoristics
The registry shows there are 4 of them counting your coin but 6 are still MIA.
What does the group think? Teddy says they are held privately. What about grade inflation? Could there truly only be four in existance that have been submitted for upgrades and been denied, or cracked-out, and not part of the record? What is the general thinking?

Sorry for the lapse - been on the road. Thank you, though. Ironically, you found a photo of the exact coin I was referring about as my recent purchase in Baltimore!! : )
But I cannot find others!! And by the way, Pete's 1912 is a monster!
Of interest to all MPL lovers also - I just wrote to Brian and robec (who is hopefully going to do some imaging for me too)......
"I looked around and happened to find an on-line catalog vendor who sold me the original "Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection" catalog from May 20-22, 1996, auctioned by Bowers and Merena, Inc. in New York City. The catalog is brand new, and has a description of the [1912] coin: "one of the finest seen". The catalog is a historical charge for me, and I also wanted to get an image of the catalog cover as well to share with our fellow MPL fanatics on the Registry Message Board because it's just cool."
Just wanted to share that with the group....
But still; where are the "10" top-dog 1912 PR66RBs ???????? 4 are accounted for......
Any theories??
<< <i>Here is Pete's (ESM) which I had the opportunity to image.
Bob,
Excellent job on capturing Pete's 1912, it is a stunner also
You captured some serious detail on Pete's 1912. I can actually see the obverse 3 O'Clock vertical die stiations along the inner rim!
Impressive work!!
