Hey! Picked this up at Legend!
Registry Description:
Another masterfully toned "color" coin from the world of Matte Proof Lincolns. What the obverse lacks in "pop" it makes up for in a diversity of its own. Purplish red intermingles seamlessly with green hues delightfully over flawless fields and exacting strike. From what I can tell, 1910 is the year of the shoulder, granting well struck specimens a level of jacket detail never before or after seen. I simply had no idea until viewing this coin what Mr. Brenner had in mind, but now, the shoulder is defined and crisp, and the jacket so textured that it would seem to need a good ironing. Upon comparison with other 1910 MPLs, this would appear to be a very early die state. The reverse... oh the reverse! Eye appeal is really off the charts here! Emerald intermingles with Purple granting an electrifying Teal tone to the entire reverse which needs no degree of imagination to bring to the eye. This reverse goes from vivid to more vivid with frosty textures and a perfect strike. Only occasionally does the toning interrupt at lower points, making for an incredible visage. The entire coin is completely free of spots or carbon of any sort, revealing only the most occasional fleck under magnification. Knowing what to look for, diagnostics are perceptible with the naked eye. It is estimated that fewer than 100 high grade Mattes meet the coveted "color toned" status. This coin fits well within their ranks.

That is some sweet rainbow 1910! Congratulations.
The 5:00 yellow-green tinge sinks the hook for me.
Thanks.

P.S. Note: No evident "C Line" diagnostic. Is that just in the photo?

I collect 20-slab, blue plastic PCGS coin boxes. To me, every empty box is like a beating heart
People come up sometimes, and ask me, G99G, are you kidding? And I answer them no, I am NOT KIDDING.
Every empty box?
C'mon!
it's like a true view out of the holder there matt...incredible
