I think it's pretty...

I like a red brown Lincoln over a rainbow one...just not a huge fan of rainbow colors on red copper.

But I'm sure it's great in hand and if you like toned copper, it's probably very nice

I like it Paul. Nice RB. I'm trying to figure out what is under the coin. Is that a buffalo nickel?

It's a Spanish 8 Reales.

Attractive. Would probably grade 64RB, given that there are a couple spots on it. It looks like the same guy that ruined the 1941 Walker proof dies had his way with this one as well.

commoncents, is this your coin?

Yes, indeed that's the one! I bought it from a fellow board member probably over a year ago, and it has resided in my personal collection in the PCI holder since then, but I cracked it out this past week and it is currently at PCGS awaiting their opinion. I do think it will grade PR64RB. It's a nice looking coin with a little color, which isn't often seen for Proofs of this era. Not a moose, but a modestly attractive piece and one I enjoy owning.
