    This arrived over the weekend. I've been so looking forward to this arriving. It's a 1909 Lincoln Cent PCGS MS-66RB with absolutely stunning color and the luster is off the charts. It's been one of the most difficult coins I've had to shoot to capture the color. None of my images can show just how stunning this Lincoln is in hand. I did make an animated gif to show the luster as well as show off the color.

    I originally saw it listed on eBay and was blown away by it. So I contacted Michael directly over on the CU forums and he made me a deal I couldn't pass up. I love that it's in an older holder and slight wood grain effect is visible, which I absolutely love. :)

    Yeah that's like a 2009 or 2010 holder, right?

    Beautiful coin and that last image is mesmerizing!

    Are you sure it's not a matte proof? :troll:

    I know it's not. I just thought it was the new custom to assume any 1909 was matte proof; hence the use of :troll:

    Not sure what year the holder is. I just like that it does not have the annoying prongs. I also don't like the look of the new labels. It has everything going for it in my eye's. Now had it been in a doily holder or a rattler, then I'd be on the rooftops dancing. LOL :)

    Oh, it's a matte proof alright, can't you tell by the color? LOL. ;)

    I have a weak spot for first year Lincoln's and Type 1 Buffalo's. Any nice looking examples just get bought. :)
