Here is another of the 74D. It is unfortunate that these had been abraded they aren't as neat to look at as the un abraded die state.

1940...Hee Hee Hee.... That's not really funny

 

Not to bad-mouth your coin, but that really has a pinkish look.

 

1937

 

Darn. I'll bet I can still get 2 cents for it.

 

Sweet '37, Wildcat. That reverse is near flawless. What's that dark orange at 6pm on the obverse, just above the rim?

 

It is from the lighting on my microscope. It does not show when looking at through my magnifying glass. Thanks for the compliment.

 

Me, too!

 

Disclaimer.... Ive had a few glasses of vodka. Yes glasses. I think everything is clear but then again it could be blurry since everything else is blurry. Alas, here is my attempt. These are pulled from a Capital Plastics 1909 s vbd - 1940 something Lincoln holder I got off ebay for $100...

 

Hi Nick, I'm a new member and inherited a 1909 Lincoln VBD. This coin is making me crazy!!! After much research thought I had a business strike but now believe it's a matte-proof. An expert posted a rim comparison side by side, plus my coin has a slight fin on upper half. I have 7 matching diagnostics except for the raised crescent shaped die chip next to the M in UNUM but perhaps it's there and I need better magnification. But I also read a post by Kevin Flynn where he came across a matte-proof which didn't have the crescent die chip but he was 100% certain was graded as a business strike in error, a matte-proof with the absence of this one diagnostic. What are your thoughts? I actually fear sending it off to be graded, it may be very valuable! Thanks, Dellen

Uh...don't think you would have much to fear sending it off, meanwhile I'm sure some knowledgeable members (myself not included) can give you good guidance. Good Luck!

 

There was only 1 die pair used for the 1909 VDB MPL. I don't see any of the diagnostics for the VDB proof on your coin. Could you show the hairline die scratches in front of the nose. Those should be easy to capture. The crescent shaped die gouge has to be present otherwise it isn't the VDB proof. I don't believe Kevin ever said he came across a VDB proof without one. I'd like to see proof of that.
