<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambro, post: 332445, member: 11143&quot;]Thanks Guys it was fun putting them up. Mattes are unique, and a bit underappreciated. In the grand scope of Lincolns.....they are the rarest of the breed with total mintage for all nine coins in the series around 17,000. All certified under the big three account for about 35% survival in MS.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Holy Grail is the VDB, maybe 150-200 survive, most are holed away in collections. It would be nice to see a few MS63 or so vdb&#039;s come on the market. All the MPL&#039;s are blowing away the price guides.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 1916 has the most incredible strike quality and detail of any Lincoln, the master was redone that year and you can count Lincolns beard hairs on a good coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I gotta hand it to my Kodak Z712IS, a great camera easy to use and wonderful for these coin shots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
