<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1660026, member: 26030"]Yellow-green (chartreuse?) color has been (surprisingly) hard for me to find on Proof Lincolns. This might be my best example. I bought this coin on approval last weekend but still haven't seen it in-hand yet, (Good old first class mail -- slow as molasses.) No idea how accurate the sellers photos are or if this coin is gradable or not (an in-hand view will help in that regard). Yes, I know there are fingerprints on both sides, but I thought the color was very interesting and unusual in spite of the prints. Due to the obverse chatter, I think if it does grade, it will probably max out around PR63BN, assuming it passes the sniffer and doesn't QC.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/RawBlack_1938ProofLinc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><font size="3"><span style="color: #66cc66">Ode to a Green Coin</span></font></b><span style="color: #66cc66"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #66cc66">Oh pretty green coin, could you be real? </span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #66cc66">A subject of coin forum fodder and pointless spiel.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #66cc66">Now I've drunken myself into a foggy sorrow.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #66cc66">I'll let the coin grading companies argue about this tomorrow.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

A subject of coin forum fodder and pointless spiel. Now I've drunken myself into a foggy sorrow. I'll let the coin grading companies argue about this tomorrow.[/COLOR] [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
