Todd's(BluCC Photos) incredible image of this Pop One 1909 VDB PR67+RB
from the McCullagh Collection

About this set: The McCullagh Collection is named in honor of my wife, Anne Catherine McCullagh, born in Dublin, Ireland. She has been the inspiration for building this high quality MPL Registry Set. This could not have been accomplished without the dedication and support of our Numismatist, Brian Wagner (BWRC). In addition, have to thank Laura Sperber, Legend Numismatics, for her help in acquiring the 1909 VDB and 1915, cornerstones to the collection. A special thanks also goes out to Matt Chapman, who was directly or indirectly involved in acquiring FIVE of the other coins in this collection. As I told Matt, a strong argument could be made to call this the Chapman/McCullagh Collection. Thanks Matt! Finally, would like to thank Todd Pollock, BluCC Photos for creating the templates and providing the imaging on several of the coins. On March 04, 2010 the highest-graded 1909 V.D.B. Matte Proof Lincoln cent was purchased as a centerpiece for this collection. This has been recorded as the highest price ever paid for a regular-issue business strike or proof small cent, including Lincoln, Flying Eagle and Indian. I hope you enjoy this set as much as we do. Jonathan

    Dave has some wonderful CBH's, no doubt. You could probably buy most of them with this VDB MPL.

    You're probably right Lance, but I'd still rather own my CBH set than one single, albeit gorgeous, MPL Lincoln, JMO.

    Ok, now I'm confused, who should I be sending all my CBH's to?

    I'd rather send all of them at once so I can save on shipping costs.

    Please let me know as it's getting late and I'd like to pack them up tonight image

    All matte proof Lincoln Cents were struck at Philadelphia, not San Francisco. The coin is gorgeous, and I am surprised that it didn't make it into a 68 holder.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    It is one fantastic coin. I have seen it in hand a few times and stunning every time. It is clean and mark free as a coin can get. One you just look at in awe. Just a great coin to have been able to image.

    What did exactly stop it from getting in a 68 holder? If this was a modern coin that
    was only 5 years old would it be in a 69 holder? Where are the problems that I
    cannot see in the pics?
