<p>[QUOTE="zaneman, post: 439091, member: 3970"]Matte proof lincoln prices are insane right now, so I would say they are difficult to price at the moment. For example, a 1909 vdb MPL that is in 64RB will routinely sell for over 30k. MPL's seem to be a little more scarce on 1914, 15, and 16, as their mintages were approx half of the other dates. There are a handful of 1917's believe to be MPL, but they were not official proof strikings, but more likely Specimen strike type coins is my understanding. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a book that is somewhat available called Counterfeit Detection volume two, which is a reprint from the Numismatist.
