<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 900297, member: 16948"]Eddie, you probably know that many 1916 business strike pennies were extremely well struck with excellent detail, so it is very easy to confuse the business strike with an MPL Be sure to look at the rims and compare them to a regular Lincoln cent). There are a couple great books on Matte Proof Lincolns, and probably the best one written to date was recently published by Kevin Flynn (<a href="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/lincoln-cent-matte-proofs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/lincoln-cent-matte-proofs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/lincoln-cent-matte-proofs.html</a>). This one contains some great photos with detailed diagnostics to look for in determining the differences between MPL's and well struck business strikes. </p><p> </p><p>Good luck with your 1916 - be sure to let us know the outcome![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
