In their own way, I think proof trimes with color rank among the most beautiful of all type coins.

[Prethen]

Pardon the glare, but I have to agree with the statement about trimes...

[gpnyc]

Did someone say proof trime?

[bsshog40]

Very nice there gpnyc!!!!

[Hoot]

Here's a piece that's not half bad:

 

Hoot

[bsshog40]

Very nice Buffalo there Hoot!

[BillJones]

Here’s one that might be controversial. NGC graded this 1913 Type I nickel as Matte Proof - 66. Dave Bowers claims that any genuine Matte Proof buffalo nickel should have bright, Proof bright edges, but one can’t see that on this one because of the holder. What do you think?

 

The coin is toned to an even gray with subdued luster. The look is consistent with a business strike or the other Matte Proofs I have seen or sold.

 

[bsshog40]

Nice Bill!

[bsshog40]

Dang nice lot of proofs there Dwaine!! Very nice!!

[EZ_E]

This in not a MS70 job. :þ The toning changes with the lighting angle and radiates from within, not from without.

Cool Cent there Vic!
