330719101CPR66RB225Gorgeous 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
330919111CPR66BN130An 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. CAC
331219121CPR66BN131Larry Shepherd Collection Pedigree
331519131CPR66BN61A 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. Pop 5/1. Purchased from Heritage on consignment from Angel Dee's. CAC
331819141CPR66+ BN21Purchased in May of 2010, as a stunning, well struck and lustrous 66BN. This coin, taking the spot of my previous 66RB, was upgraded to 66+BN in November of 2011. Many would think that moving from a 66RB to a 66+BN would be considered 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. CAC
332119151CPR66+ BN12A 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". CAC
332419161CPR67BN10Another 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 7/31/2010 this coin finally received it's due and was awarded the grade of 67BN with a 1/0 pop. CAC

Wow Bob! This is the most beautiful Lincoln collection I have ever seen!! Can't pick a favorite but if I had to I guess the 1916 would be it. But the 1909 VDB is also amazing . Great job my friend...Joe

Bob-What an outstanding collection! Now that the VDB is in place, the entire set comes together. I would have a hard time picking a favorite, but the "Green Monster" is right up there, and I'd like to see it "in-hand" one of these days! Regards, Duane
