srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3054 Posts	Posted 12/31/2021 4:47 pm Was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on my 1916 Lincoln Cent. Original, not artificial toning. Coin was acquired from Harlan J. Berk in Chicago. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/31/2021 6:20 pm Lovely coin. Perhaps the spotting will hold the grade to MS-64BN. Report this Post to the Staff

No, actually it has all the markers of being a Matte Proof. But I'm going to have to send it off for confirmation. Report this Post to the Staff

Peaceman1 New Member 6 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 07:58 am Judging by the surfaces, strike and the give away... the hair! Yes. Matte Proof. Seriously nice and rare coin. Hopefully they don't sandbag you on the toning color. Looks original.. maybe stored in the wine cellar.. gives that red purple hue... Acetone will cause similar but it doesn't look spotty or blochy to me.. Nice! Report this Post to the Staff
