<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1186621, member: 19423&quot;]Thanks!&nbsp; The last coin pictured, the 1909 in PR65RB I purchased in February 2009 from Angel Dees.&nbsp; I just had to have one nice example of a Matte Proof Lincoln cent and Andy found me an awesome coin.&nbsp; One of the favorites in my collection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The others I actually acquired within the past year.&nbsp; The 1909 in PR66RB and the 1914 in PR66BN I happened to come across at a local coin shop.&nbsp; The dealer had purchased an album of high end Lincoln Cents and was quite surprised the collector had a couple of matte proofs in the album.&nbsp; They were submitted to PCGS for grading and I just had to get them before too many others had a chance to see them and buy them!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then, within a month or so after that, a collector I know told me he was liquidating his complete matte proof collection (except for the 1909 VDB) which included coins that were off the market for the past 5-10 years.&nbsp; I wish I could have bought them all, but we were able to find a mutually agreeable price on those two.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
