<p>[QUOTE="KeyHunter, post: 26400479, member: 122558"]An update to my topic starter post: I'm now discussing with the dealer re possible purchase of this woodie 1915 Matte Proof Lincoln. Graded PR63RB red/brown asking $1,000. The latest GreySheet I have (July 2025) lists $750. Mintage 1,150 pieces (lower range of matte series mintages). IF I purchase this the ONLY Matte proof series needed to complete the Series will be 1911 and the pricey 1916 (1909 VDB is out of my range). Higher graded specimens on the BIG auction sites have been going for $2-3K+; similar graded on *bay asking $950-1,100 range. Most of my other matte proofs in this series have been ~PR64-65 affordability and more evenly RB toned. I'm finding this unique coin both a conversation AND education piece.
