<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2509255, member: 77413&quot;]With today&#039;s arrival of my 1967 Lincoln SMS, I have completed my set of post-war Lincoln proofs. The 1950 cent is in a proof set in a Capitol Plastics holder, but this display shows the post-war wheat, memorial, bicentennial, and union shield proofs from 1951-2010. (Yes, just one token sample of the Union Shield back.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I used the Lighthouse Quadrum 2x2&#039;s so the black insert would show off the colors, and a storage case I also found in their catalog. The dark blue trays also show of the proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>In a few cases I upgraded coins that had stains on their obverses, so I put them in as duplicates and flipped them over, so I could show the reverses, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the transitional years I put them reverse facing up - a wheat back next to the 1959 memorial back, and the four 2009&#039;s and the 2010 shield with the reverses up. Where I had the coin still in the mint packaging, I just took the insert out of the holder and put the cellophane packet in that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope the picture gives some idea of how nicely it turned out.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]533399[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]533401[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I added this detail of the first tray, 1951, through memorial back and 1960 small and large dates. Sorry about the weird truncation!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]533407[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
