Thanks Thad - it was a long hard search (and saving of cash) to get it. Thanks Humanist! Quote:

One of my biggest regrets was not buying a 1936 satin proof I found at a show. It was $550 (raw) and an amazing coin very light ring toning - but I just got to the show with like $600 in my pocket. Buying it would have sent me home with 1 coin from a huge show instead of a lot of Lincolns I needed. I opted for MORE. lol However, I now regret that decision because I've never seen a nicer one since. It's probably in an MS 66 slab for $4000+ now.

Great Lincoln Cent collection Dearborn. Love the proofs. What does that label mean by just "Brilliant"? I don't remember ever seeing that before. |

Not sure how long ago that happened, I would probably make the same move too opting for quantity vs rarity just because of cost. Quote:

The mint started making the 1936 proofs with a satin finish a "Type I" coin and only produced about 5200 of them before the population started complaining about the finish and actually started spending them. So the mint switched to the type II Brilliant proof for collectors. Now it is estimated that only about 500 to 600 of the satin finish coins are surviving now. |
