Message:: [QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1505179, member: 26030"]1914 Matte Proof Lincoln.  PCGS PR66BN.  My first Matte Proof Lincoln!  I had been trying to buy a colorful MPL  for 6 months, with no luck, when, in early October 2011, I spotted this  PCGS PR66BN Matte Proof being listed on Heritage with a somewhat muted  but still colorful photo.  After some heated end-of-auction live bidding, where the price of the coin  nearly doubled in a bit over 10 seconds, I ended up winning this stunner.  A few weeks later, when I got  this coin in hand, I was amazed how much it changed color depending on  the lighting and viewing angle.  When tipped towards the light, this  coin simply erupts with shimmering salmon-red, orange-gold, and  olive-green color; but what makes this coin special is the flush of  fluorescent blue that washes over parts of the coin in a sparkling  translucent layer.  This just an eye-popping monster. <img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_Vertical2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
