Orange peel surfaces,and great looking matte proof!

Beautiful coin. I have always wondered why there are so many colorful matte proofs, whereas BU business strikes of the era more often exhibit ordinary RD/RB/BN coloration. Is it the tissue paper from the original proof sets, a.k.a. the Taco Bell napkins of the 1912 era? Were the proof planchets prepared differently, resulting in different patina after many years?

I believe it was the tissue paper that early proofs were kept in.

Very nice! Would love to see that one in hand. Got any more to share?!

that is one beautiful penny- though i was slightly disappointed- knowing the quality you demand and the "orange peel matte proof" you described, i was thinkin a nice proof $20 was coming!

soon enough...
