Robec did an outstanding job photographing my recently bought 1910 Matte Proof Lincoln. The coin is quite dark in hand, but hit the right angle and all this color pops. The reverse color is some of the nicest I've seen on a MPL.
I always considered my US type coin set should include a Civil War Token and a Hard Times Token. Last month I picked up a common HTT but tonight I picked up what is probably a fairly common CWT. HT-32 The Washington piece I bought today is interesting to me because it has a die crack and I have seen several others where a cud has occurred in the area up at the top. I may try to find one with a cud in same grade to make a progression set too. Fuld 117-420 I have assigned HT-32 and Fuld 117-420 numbers to these from what I could find for identification. If I am wrong and someone is more knowledgable in this specialty please let me know. Thanks.
