Lost lost MATTE PROOF?!?

Due to this thread, I think Hunting Rare's true calling may be in selling dartboards, featuring a smiling pic of himself holding out his "supposed" '09 Lincoln with the caption "trust me when I say it's a Matte proof." The '09 would be positioned smack dab in the middle of the dartboard as the bullseye .

OP..... Everyone here would love to cheer you on.... If you have what you think you have. Up until now, you sound like an Etsy ad. Enjoy your nice coin. But please stop with the grandstanding. Makes me feel like I been stuck with a bad life insurance salesman. I just want to go take a shower and wash it off.

 

I always hated the term "life insurance". Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it "death insurance"?

 

Makes it easier to sell...

 

Death Assurance.

 

You win.

 

OP wish you well and let us see it in the new holder.

 

Curious.... Were matte proof dies recycled for use for business strike coins?

 

Start cheering. After a long acetone soak, a whole box of q-tips and some elbow grease.....I think it's safe to say I can almost hear the apologies already

 

Well, glad to hear you've moved to using q-tips. Much more hygenic.

 

Can we see photos of the diagnostics now? At least show the scratches in front of the nose.

 

TP would have worked too but the stores are empty.

 

That was not very smart. I'm sure that killed any chance of the coin ever being graded.

 

I don't think it hurt, Idhair. Ugly is ugly.......and that darn pseudo-proof '09 of Hunting Rare's was BUTT ugly with a capital "B", "U", "T" and "T". Hopefully, Hunting Rare will post a pic of his new and improved Matte proof......I could use a good chuckle this morning.

 

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

 

You're so full of it, your eyes are brown! Stop spitting out all of that dog doo-doo, and put your money where your smelly mouth is!

 

Now, see, that's exactly the level of level-headed numismatic analytical expertise that's called for in a thread like this.

Especially after it's gone on for Five. Freaking. Pages.

 

I'm waiting to see the slab ...

after all this time I would have thought it was sent in a long, LONG time ago .... unless .....
