<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1508919, member: 26030&quot;]<b>1913 Matte Proof Lincoln.</b>&nbsp; (PCGS PR64BN)&nbsp; <span style="color: #cc3399">&nbsp; &quot;Taste the Rainbow!&quot;</span> I have an incredibly lucky story on how I was able to acquire this striking coin (too long to write!).&nbsp; Just say it was a million to one shot and involved my good friend Robec. I targeted this coin because, along with my other two Matte Proof Lincolns, this new addition allows my small 3-coin MPL collection to cover the full spectrum of the rainbow (red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet).&nbsp; Now that is a feat!&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty amazing what that sulfur-laden tissue paper in which the U.S. Mint wrapped these coins (before shipping them out) did to these early proofs. It seems no two coins toned quite the same way. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1913MPL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/Master_MatteProofCream.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/Rainbow5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>ROY G BIV</b></p><p>&nbsp;Red (1914)</p><p>&nbsp;Orange (1909)</p><p>&nbsp;Yellow (1909)</p><p>&nbsp;Green (1909)</p><p>&nbsp;Blue (1914)</p><p>&nbsp;Indigo (1913)</p><p>&nbsp;Violet (1913)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
