So, I picked this one up off ebay, as a gamble, pictures were not so good, figured I could always return it if it was trash. Was listed as a Brilliant proof, which I believe it to be the Satin proof, of which I want an example of both anyways. For the price, I really didn't want to pass it up though.    |

Not many of those made. Great acquisition. Sorry I can't venture a guess on the grade as I'm not familiar with what to look for with that particular finish.

Looks like a satin to me. I'll say PR66 BN, hard to tell what the true color is from these pics. PS, my Buff set is still waiting for an upgrade from one of those 1915's you picked up  |

I got lucky and got this coin for 275 bucks, figure I did well. I'd say it is RB in hand honestly.
Haha, I'll eventually get those buffs graded, just keep bugging me, it tends to help motivate.

They made a claim and it was clear enough to see that it was...and he had a return policy.

PR-66BN sounds about right.

I'll go with PR64. Decent toning. Nice coin.

As long as that safety net of the return is there. First set of pics look BN to me, second pic of obverse could go either way  Find out in hand, good luck! Quote:

it does have the look for a proof but I'm not familiar with the markers on these. I'm going with the crowd on the PR call. looks at least PR65 and even 66. a little too much light to determine color but I'm going with BN on this one

Nice pickup.
Was it the squared rims that confirmed it for you?

That is one looker for sure! My thoughts were PR66 when I looked it over. Color? No idea!

Looks like a business strike to me. All of the 36 proofs I've seen have mirrored fields.

Doesn't look like a brilliant proof to me . Satin proof ? I don't know . Did they make 1936 satin proof Lincoln Cents ?  |
