Ebay...Still a Cherrypickers Paradise 2017'

And in my opinion, stupid money that only has a place for an early die state coin, not MPL as those of you, who want to make it out to be.

Remember What I Said....!!!!!

 

Let me clarify my opinion of this coin. It is matte proof like, not a matte proof lincoln. MPL is the common abbreviation for matte proof lincoln. Looks like this puppy was struck from a left over 1915 matte proof obverse die. Not so sure about the reverse though maybe so. It is what it is, looks enough like a real matte proof to
be called mint state, matte proof like.

 

Agree with you buffnixx.

 

I agree that it has the characteristics, but wouldn't that be pl, because it doesn't have the markers?

 

nope -- should be called matte proof like. why would you just call
it proof like as is resembles a matte, and strongly too.

 

You're just inventing things as you go along. Would you call a coin with similar appearance from the Denver Mint the same thing? Nicely-struck coins in numismatics are referred to as "nicely struck coins."

 

maybe you are right. not too many collectors use the term matte proof like.
proof like, for the brilliant proof likes, is acceptable and even listed on slabs as
a qualifier. so this is just an unofficial tag.

 

As this thread has proven, the discussion of MPL's is difficult enough without the appearance of putting forth well-struck Business Strikes as arguments against the "prevailing wisdom" regarding the Proofs. People have been researching these for over a hundred years now, and although any scientist worth his salt is ready to be convinced by a conflicting argument backed by proven fact, speculation has no place in the process. All it does is distract those reading who haven't looked at thousands upon thousands of Lincolns from the experience of those who have.

 

Doctor Freud, ... Doctor Sigmund Freud? Please pick up any white courtesy phone. Your office is calling.

 

You owe me a keyboard.

 

Ouch, I'll think on that. Although I have nothing that's not secured in other locations than my immediate presence.

 

I think it was on purpose. R is nowhere near L on the keyboard

 

But autocorrect doesn't care.

 

So it is "Siri" that needs the therapy?

@Larry Pelf messaged me that "It's real!" And he basically said I'm gonna eat crow. Anybody else get a message from him?
