Hey, joe, I'm not seeing any flaws on the 2011's, especially the first one. It looks so soft and perfect. I am assuming the scratches/smudges in the upper right quadrant are on the holder?
Yes, they are on the holder. I could never be a grader because I can't see much wrong with them to keep them from MS69
I just received this today, PR69RD DCAM. Figured I post it here since this seems to be a pretty good Lincoln thread that I was late to and am having a hard time giving up.
I agree, this is a hard thread to let go of. How about a summary represented by my toned proof collection. I have a few toners post 1975, but they are darn hard to find.
That assortment of toned proofs is unequalled. Winged Liberty, how long did it take you to assemble that collection? Simply outstanding!!! Don
Thank you Don. I started this collection in June 2011, so I have been accumulating these (slowly) over the past 17 months. This set was inspired by (CT Memeber) Robec's collection of colorful 1936-1942 Lincoln Proofs, which I drooled over for a few weeks before I decided to try to put together a similar set. Then I sort of got hooked on toned proof copper and started extending it into other years. All the coins in the set are PCGS graded, and all the images shown are actually resized PCGS TrueView photos.
