Some Great Matte Proof Lincoln Photos ... Thank you PCGS TrueView!

WingedLiberty1957

My growing Matte Proof Lincoln Collection. My goal was to complete an MPL date set with each coin PCGS graded and having some nice color at a reasonable cost. I had multiple TrueView photos taken of most of the coins below (too bad only one shot can be stored in the PCGS TrueView database, but I do have all the various shots on my computer). Note that the 1909 obverse, shown below, is from an alternate TrueView photoshoot. My newest pickup was the 1910 MPL graded PCGS PR65BN that I got for the bargain basement price of $764 on Heritage a few weeks ago. Yes, it does have some obverse spotting, but the reverse is nearly perfect. I liked the color and at 20% under the PCGS Guide price, I couldn't let it pass. There are just so few of these to pick from especially with my color/price requirements. The grades of the coins shown below are: 1909 (PR64RB), 1910 (PR65BN), 1913 (PR64BN), 1914 (PR66BN), 1915 (PR65BN).

That 1914 is absolutely stunning.

The luster on the 1910 seems to be quite muted and that paired with the spots is likely why you got such a good price. VERY nice set Paul.

I'll take the 14 too!

Exactly right BRG. The 1910 is not a monster, no doubt. But to find a 1910 PR65BN with this much color for that price was just too good to pass on. I might keep looking for a better 1910, and if I find one, will upgrade and auction this one off on ebay. That's the fun of collecting.

Not even much of a fan, but even I WOL'd (wow'd out loud) at that '14. That's a stunner.

Gorgeous, eye appealing set. You picked a great time to start your collection.

Who knows that 1916 or maybe a VDB may pop up when you least suspect it.

Great looking MPLS..................that 1914 is a boomer IMO.

Cazkaboom

Wow, Winged Liberty. Those MPLs are the best I have seen! And I agree with the general consensus, that 1914 is out of this world!

I agree. Actually the 1909 vdb and the 1916 are not even on my radar as they are too expensive.
But I am watching for a 1911 or a 1912 to come up for sale in my price/color range.
To be honest with you, they are ALL tough dates when you are looking for lower-cost and colorful examples.

D-D-D-D-DANG !!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice indeed.....

Nice set you have there.

Personally I don't care for the 1910.
