Just a little Xmas present to me

Grade is MS66BN - Pop is 6/0

Cost was... well in excess of sheet.

For what it's worth, the surfaces have a matte-like appearance!

Nice coin!

It may not scream Matte, but it does scream Matt. You're getting a nice set those colored ones. I know where there's a couple more.

Was that the coin that was on the bay and then - poof - gone?

I think I had that one on my watch list and then the auction ended.

Nice pickup!

A nice COOL Lincoln... Good choice in color for the cold season!

Sorry Mark, I was working the guy over pretty hard

But seriously, it's a true gem in the mint state sea, with luster that leaps off the coin like few others. Cartwheel luster on a brown coin that looks like this is rare, even for an MPL, and the ease in which I captured the image is a strong testament to that fact. And for the price I paid, I'm pretty well buried in it... in fact, I may need to be buried WITH it.

Beautiful coins... they are a true addiction

Congratulations!

I think being a MPL collector has opened my eyes to some amazing lincolns and the colors that copper can produce.

I'm glad someone on the Board picked up this coin and if you ever switch direction with your collection, let me know.

Again, great looking coin!

Happy Holidays!

Mark

I think it's no secret here that I go both ways...

Pretty, but I don't care for the weak VDB.

<< <i>Pretty, but I don't care for the weak VDB. >>

As I hold my head down low, I begin to cry
and ask myself why, oh why
should I choose beauty over strike
much to my brethren’s dislike?
But then I see in light so dim
how luster shines through from within
and then I know it does not matter
these murmurings and mindless chatter!
We all collect the things we like
And tell the rest “Go take a hike!”

Hey neat poem! Pehaps with a full VDB it might have gotten 67BN!

Definitely NOT a Matte!!!
