<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1409284, member: 26030"]It's kind of interesting but there was only one memorable coin on the 100 Greatest Mirror Proof Lincolns website that only had color on 1 side. It was one of mine (that actually is a bit of a "cheat" coin since this coin is currently at PCGS awaiting a PCGS grade and TrueView photo).
