<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1807600, member: 26030&quot;]<b>1916 Matte Proof Lincoln. </b> I picked up this 1916 Matte Proof Lincoln Cent (PCGS PR64RB CAC) in last month&#039;s Goldberg Auction for about 60% of guide price.&nbsp; Guide price is $3350 and I won this for $1850 + 15% buyers premium, which was a great price for a relatively spot-free 1916 Matte Proof.&nbsp; I really liked the hammered strike with the great beard and hair detail, the lava-like red glow in the center, and the lack of spots.&nbsp; Of course the super-wide razor-sharp rims are really cool too.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1916MPL_PR64RB_O_1100.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I know it&#039;s not the most beautiful Matte Proof in the world, but it&#039;s not bad at that price point.&nbsp;&nbsp; And it&#039;s a rarity with only 188 PCGS slabbed examples floating around out there for this date.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS Slab Population (Counts):</p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/PCGSPop_1916MPL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This gave me a really low cost way to fill one of two remaining holes in my Matte Proof Lincoln Set.&nbsp;&nbsp; All the coins shown below are PCGS graded (with the assigned grade shown below each coin); and I added my buy price for each coin under that info. Note that all the coin images are resized PCGS TrueView photos.&nbsp; The 1909 vdb is too darned expensive, so I will never fill that hole; but 8 out of 9 ain&#039;t bad!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/Master_MatteProofBlackG$.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
