Whole-hearted Congrats to Tom Bender for taking his MPLs to their rightful place in the top 5!

4th actually. Based on his steady climb and careful additions, including a pop 3/0 1916 in PR66RD, I'd say this congrats is a long time coming!

I can't believe it's only 4th with that heavy-hitting lineup. Well done!

I will now say that both Tom Bender and Peter Miller can join Gerry, Stewart and Doug on that pedestal of PR68+ all red Matte Proof Lincoln cents. Yes, Peter still needs to upgrade one, but I'm sure he will. Here's a thread I put out this summer about the Top 3. Steve

Way to go, Tom!

Tom, congrats on finding the last two coins in conditions that meet your standards (forget the plastic). Your set is very nice!

See you at FUN.

Tom:
I've been watching you assemble this collection over the last several years and want to compliment you on the attention you have paid in acquiring such an outstanding group of MPL’s. Dare I say that there is not a coin in your collection that a serious MPL Red collector would not be envious of having in their own registry set. Well done, and thanks for sharing images of so many of your coins!
Regards,
Jonathan
