A nearly razor sharp Choice Matte Proof example of the second year Lincoln Cent mintage. When I looked at the Reverse of this coin, my first thought was that I could just about shave with the Wheat Ears! Mellow purplish-red surfaces that show Brenner's design, and the technique of the Matte Proof striking, to near "perfection". They tend to give a bit of a "mulligan" when it comes to color designation with Proof Indian and Lincoln Cents. However, I have noted that CAC is VERY picky when it comes to stickering coins that are Brown, so I have no problem with the designation in this case. I will also note that this coin has more "life" and a brighter surface than a number of similarly graded coins that have transacted recently. Just flat out a pretty coin!
