<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robec, post: 2049289, member: 19094&quot;]It may be the lighting, but I wasn&#039;t able to find one diagnostic listed for a 1913 MPL.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was really hoping one would show. I&#039;ve compared it to my 1913 (for diagnostics), with Albrecht&#039;s:</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse 1 - die polish from upper left of first 1 in date. die polish and die gouge around IN. Die polish by G in GOD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse 2 - Early die state: die polish above date, and above T and through Y of LIBERTY. Die polish below LIBERTY and at IN GOD and WE.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse 2 - Late die state: Die polish around base of first 1 in date. Curved die polish above date. Die scratch through G and above OF of GOD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse A - No diagnostics</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse B - Early die state: Die polish through UNUM and C of CENT. Curved die polish to right of N in CENT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse B - Late die state: Heavy die polish to right of T in CENT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Courtesy of Matte Proof Lincoln Cents 1909-1917 by Leonard Albrecht </p><p><br /></p><p>and with the diagnostics Kevin Flynn has listed in his book, &quot;Lincoln Cent Matte Proofs&quot;. None are shown on this 1913. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe an alternate photo would bring one out at least one of the diagnostics. Phil does take multiple photos taken during the TrueView session, maybe he still has them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
