Lincoln Lovers Picture Thread!

The 10,18 and 34 were sold as MS64, the 10 and 18 could be, but the 34 I think is maybe a MS62. I was surprised too when I found out there were other proofs then what was in my Dansco albulm, I think the "S" started in the 60's. I have most of the proofs from 37-42 (missing the 36) and most of them from 50-2007 (missing the 36,50 and 51).

I am using a Minolta A200 Dimage with a tripod, USPS flat rate box with a gray foam board on top of it that sits on a table. I picked up the foam board this weekend and am real happy with it. I use an cut out milk jug to diffuse the light when shooting proofs and brilliant cents. Inside the milk jug I have some reflective paper on the opposite side of where the light is shined. I use an adjustable desk light I got at Home Depot with an compact florescent in it.

Looks like the proofs were made in Philly until 1968 which started the S mint business and proof strikes in all denominations. But I did find one that I noticed was a post 1968 coin that was a proof made in Philly. I had to look at my collection to see it wasn't an S mint. The 1999-P Proof SBA is the one that was made at Philly after 1968. See if anyone else can think of one that was made there after 1968?

thanks for starting this thread

Looks like it got hit with something. I have seen a couple of these on the variety thread, I think they are neat.

Here is last weekends buy-

And his crazy cousin-

Coop,

Well I cheated and went through my Red Book and could not find another proof not minted in San Fransisco.

Dave,

I love it when people crack em out! Like I used to say when I was younger to certain people "let them puppies breathe"

I was looking through some cents from my grandmother, just a bunch of wheat's (so I thought) then I found (4) 11-s,(4) 12-s and about (8) 1922 weak-D and this.....
