[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1466284, member: 26030"][B]My Colorful Lincoln Proof Collection [COLOR=#6666ff](Pre-War Wheat 1936-1942)[/COLOR]. [/B]What do you all think of my "virtual/digital coin boards" that I just whipped up in Photoshop for my colorful Lincoln Proof collection? Many of us collectors "cut our teeth" pushing coins into cardboard folders or albums ... with these digital coin boards, we can sort of re-live that satisfaction (all the while our coins are locked and protected safely away in their plastic holders). It's also nice that these virtual boards allow viewing of the fronts and the backs, simultaneously. Note that all of the coins below are PCGS graded; and all the images are from PCGS TrueView photographs. I started this collection about a year ago when I got inspired by some beautiful, colorful Lincoln Proofs in the collection of my good friend [I]robec[/I]. Most collectors might not realize how EXTREMELY DIFFICULT it is finding an attractive, colorfully-toned Proof Lincoln (that PCGS will grade) for every year starting in 1936. I used 1975 as a cut-off date in my virtual coin boards because it's practically impossible to find colorfully-toned proofs later than that date (though a few do exist).
