<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1473010, member: 26030&quot;]<b>1941 Lincoln Cent (Proof).&nbsp;&nbsp; </b>I bought this monster off eBay for $62.77 (plus $4.95 shipping) last month.&nbsp; It was already PCGS slabbed as PR64 RB.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am tempted to call this coin the &quot;Missing Coat Variety&quot;.&nbsp; Note how Lincoln&#039;s coat underneath the date is very weakly stuck (and almost completely invisible), perhaps from a worn or filled die?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know very much about how things like this happen, but it&#039;s kind of cool.&nbsp; The pink and purple color on the obverse is about as smooth and appealing as you&#039;ll ever see on a pre-WW2 proof. Usually Lincoln Proofs from this era show much blotchier color, when you can find them toned that is.&nbsp;&nbsp; My favorite part of this coin might be the sublime blue-indigo-violet coloration (mixed in with a bit of hot pink) on Lincolns head.&nbsp;&nbsp; The exquisite hot pink and purple color extends to the reverse around 8 o&#039;clock, and around the reverse rim.&nbsp; The rest of the reverse is just blindingly nice, with more standard deep sunburst-orange and golden-yellow color, somewhat reminiscent of what you might see gazing into the sun.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is probably about as pretty as you&#039;ll ever see a PR64 Lincoln Cent -- and for $68, just a fall-over-in-your-chair amazing bargain. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1941LincPR64RB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
