    I have been buying some Lincoln proofs mid 50's to early 60's and I love that color they have. Just a comment.

    I will, but it is night here in Dallas and I am watching the Rangers. Just go to a coin shop and look/compare the proofs from the period I mentined with the later date proofs. The "experts" will tell you it's the metal composition. In anycase I really like it and they are cheap...leas than $5

    I just picked up a 55s last night at my coin club, I so wish I had a camera. Red/blue/purple/pink on both obverse and reverse, Its a beauty. It was 4.50 and worth every penny, pardon the pun
