<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tdec1000, post: 1102820, member: 2401&quot;]This coin is in fact a matte proof Lincoln.&nbsp; The colorful toning comes from the mint issued tissue paper that held the coin for many years.&nbsp; RLM what you are referring to on the reverse rim is called knife edge. The pressure to strike these coins was tremendous.&nbsp; The coin was struck multiple times under heavy pressure to get the deep strike.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You guys will never guess how I got this coin.&nbsp; And it is in fact off to the graders right now.&nbsp; I dont think that the spot on the obverse rim is a carbon spot but more of a grease/dirt gunk spot.&nbsp; I tried to remove it but it wouldnt come off. I did however remove three other dirt spots on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys grade it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Tom[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
