This is my second book on Matte Proof Lincoln Cents

My first book which sold out was titled "A Collectors View of Matte Proof Lincoln Cent Dies 1909 to 1916." Received both positive and negative comments. One person who did contact me asked if I had any information on Matte Proof Lincoln Cent die pairs.

The die pairs along with side by side color photos showing die deterioration, detailed diagnostics of each die know are showed with enlarge color photos and much more is in this book.

The book titled "a Study of Matte Proof Lincoln Cents 1909 to 1916" contains one hundred and seventy pages, spiral bound and can be purchased for $ 25.00 dollars postage paid by contacting the author at Carl Waltz Jr., PO Box 62, Millersville, PA. 17551. Or if you have any questions my e-mail is cwmplbook@aol.com.

I just received a copy of Carl's new book on Matte Proof Lincoln cent dies and die pairs from 1909 thru 1916. Those collectors who own or may want to own these coins should find Carl Waltz new book very interesting with many pictures and comments. This book is an update to Leonard Albrecht's 1982 pamphlet on this subject. I find comparing the listing and pictures of the various die diagnostics of my nine coins to those in the book for each year is well worth the cost. And, Carl got the book out to me in just one week. Thanks.

I picked up two mis-attributed MPL's recently (I believe), they're currently at PCGS. I only have Flynn's book and I definitely got more out of studying CoinFacts images than the book. But I may pick this one up.

Just got my copy - wow, now I need to sit down and look at my MPL cents to see what I have based on his study.

Thank you Carl!

I got my copy of Carl's book in the mail last week. Started reading it today, and I've
learned quite a bit! Recommended for Lincoln cent collectors and anyone interested
in Proof coinage of the early 1900s.

I just recently found this thread and contacted Carl hoping that I could still obtain a copy of his work, and I was not disappointed! I received his MPL Diagnostics book today and I am very impressed! Incredible pictures, and the book goes through every known die and die state for each year. Definitely a must-have for anyone looking to identify MPLs either raw or certified, myself included!

Great book - however - on page 35 it was later discovered that the 1909 reverse was is not a recut die on the reverse on TED, it is in fact a Doubled Die. You will have to get this book to understand why.
