After a 20-year hiatus the proof Lincoln was re-introduced in 1936, but the finish of the coin was changed to full brilliance. The brilliant proofs were continued until 1942, then abandoned due to World War II. This series makes a wonderful and desirable set of coins.

Notes: This set has bonuses. Please see the Set Composition for a listing.
