Two MPL's (matte proof Lincolns). Which do you prefer and guess the grades!

    Your pictures are kind of hard to see the luster. 65RB? Regardless, that is a gorgeous coin from a rough date!

    I know what you mean, rlm. Luster is difficult to capture in photos without trading off some other things. I strive for compromise, to show detail and color, eliminate glare and shadows, show round, frontal shots. But something always suffers.

    Regardless, you are correct in the grade. It is RB though I'd call it 95% red. Would have loved a full red 65 but my pockets aren't that deep and they're kind of hard to find with full strikes and an absence of eyesores like carbon spots and baggy distractions.

    I'm calling it quits on this date/mm. There's too much left to fix.

    Thank you for the nice words!
    Lance.
