Re: Matte proof Lincolns
I don't believe it's a good idea to positively identify a "Matte Proof" from an Internet Image alone.... JMO
If you are buying an uncertified loose example, make sure you are well versed in
diagnostics and can spot the differences in matte proofs vs. normal business strikes.

Re: Matte proof Lincolns
I definitely agree. I was really going for more of a, "you should send that baby in to be sure." Kinda response. It's the, "No, are you serious? " that make me question my existence. as for the diagnostics, I have them memorized, only add a little handling here or there plus a hundred years of cigarettes and hot summers and I'm not sure what to expect. As always, your input is greatly appreciated .
