Set Description
No Red in this group. Either RB, BN or Wild.

Set Goals
Without purposely collecting any AT Lincoln's, I am attempting to collect as many colorful and wildly toned proof Lincoln's as I can find and afford. Both are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain as each day passes.

View Coin   United States 1C 1942 NGC PF 66 RB
View Coin   United States 1C 1909 VDB PCGS PF 64 BN Thanks to Andy of Angel Dees, I was finally able to secure the biggest piece of the MPL puzzle. A very pleasing brown example with enough red to give it some very nice color. Good for the grade and thrilled to have it.
View Coin   United States 1C 1909 LINCOLN PCGS PF 66 RB A beautiful RB example. "It is actually 100% red reverse and 80% red obverse." Dave Kelly

Purchased from Dave Kelly
View Coin   United States 1C 1910 PCGS PF 66 RB Gorgeous peach with a hint of green. Second time owning this coin after a short visit with Matt Chapman. I just missed it too much. Pedigree - Pete Miller, Blay, Campbell, Chapman, Watkins, Chapman. CAC
View Coin   United States 1C 1911 PCGS PF 66 BN An absolute stunner of a coin. Rare iridescent green covers most of the obverse with green and other pastel colors filling the reverse of this Monster brown MPL. Obtained from Brian Wagner, who had just obtained from Stewart Blay. How nice it must be to have duplicates like this.
View Coin   United States 1C 1912 PCGS PF 65 BN From my buddy Winged Liberty. A great way to finish off the old year and to start the new. This coin is just loaded with eye appeal. It makes an immediate impact being one of the top 3 or 4 beauties of this set. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation go out to WL.
View Coin   United States 1C 1913 PCGS PF 66 BN A beautifully toned matte with pleasing shades of russet, blues and browns. A virtually spot and mark free example with great strike and tons of luster. Tied for the highest graded Brown with 5 others. Purchased from Heritage on consignment
View Coin   United States 1C 1914 PCGS PF 66 BN A stunning, well struck and lustrous 66BN. This coin is taking the spot of my previous 66RB. Many would think that this would be a downgrade. Side by side comparison would immediately dispel that thought. Acquired from a collectors collector, Richard Shapiro ( G99G's Sets ), this multicolored beauty is highlighted by a rose and green patina on the obverse with green being the dominant color. The reverse runs from gold to reddish orange with that wonderful matte surface on both sides. Ex Alan Epstein.
View Coin   United States 1C 1915 PCGS PF 66 BN A beautiful green tinted monster from Brian Wagner's Hall of Fame. 'After studying the PCGS population reports it shows me that in BN and RB the 1915 is as tough a date as the 1916. Only in RD is the 1916 tougher. Mintages show that the coins are about equal. I have handled more 1916's than the 1915. The 1915 looking like this is a true rarity.' Brian Wagner. Formerly of the "Colorful MPL Collection".
View Coin   United States 1C 1916 PCGS PF 67 BN Another from Brian Wagner. One of the nicest 1916's you'll ever see. This is flat out a monster in every sense of the word. So close to RB and 67 it isn't funny. Not many 1916 are hammered better or stronger than this example. Ex Looney, Blake, Kelly and Chapman. As of 7/31/10, the coin finally received the appropriate grade..... from 66BN to 67BN.
