MY 1936 THRU 1942 LINCOLN PROOF COINS HAVE BEEN "TRUEVIEWED".

Steve

I've just had 8 more of my early Lincoln proof cents "Trueviewed" by Phil Arnold and the PCGS photographic group. The results are part of my Set Registry of Lincoln Cents with Major Varieties, Proof (1909-Present). You can see the 94 coin collection by clicking on the link below. Steve

It really makes your set stand out. I have started to do it on my sets also. I just wish my collection did not have so many darn coins in it.

Nice going Steve.

Very nice. I like the '36 satin. That's a tough coin to find PQ.

Thanks for the nice comments. I just got the 8 coins back from PCGS. As with the Matte Proofs I compared the coins in hand with the pictures Phil Arnold and his people provided and I was pleased with how accurately the pictures portrayed the actual coins, particularly with the 1936 Satin and the 1937 Iridescent. The six other proofs are the typically brilliant red.

My 1937 was purchased from Bob Cornell from Springfield, Massachussets in 1988 at a Danbury, Connecticut show. I was impressed with the iridescent colors, particularly on the obverse, when I viewed the coin under light and moved it slightly back and forth. To this day, after 25 years, this coin continues to show that movement of colors that is seen with the hand motion although Phil's picture obviously can't portray that movement. This coin is the only truly colorful toned proof in this collection and I'm very happy to own it. It is this example that lets me appreciate why so many Lincoln cent collectors want to own colorfully toned examples of the series.

Thanks again.
