[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1186229, member: 26030"]I was curious about the term MPL used above. At first I thought it might stand for Matte Proof Like ... but then found it actually stood for Matte Proof Lincoln There is a great web resource on these early Matte Proof Lincoln coins ... [URL]http://www.lincolncentresource.com/Matte_Proofs.html[/URL] I was interested to find out they only minted Matte Proofs in the Lincoln Cent series from 1909 through 1916 (with a few illegally struck in 1917). I assume starting in 1918 they switched over the regular mirrored proof ... is that right?. I like the web reference above because it talked about the whys of minting and the diagnositcs of a MPL. Does anyone know if any Matte Proofs were struck for any other coin for other years?[/QUOTE]
