1909 and 1912 MPL's

[harvey8542]

I just sent the money out for these two.I feel I paid a very reasonable price for them seeing how hot people say the market is for these right now. Please tell me what you think of them good or bad. I will try to get better pic's when I get them in hand.

i really regret not jumping on those mpl's a few years ago.. and gold.. and 100oz bars.......... but nice coins there, i bet they're much better in hand

Nice move on your part. Not that many were made and there is a bit of a demand for them. Don't we all wish we would have started 10 years ago.

The 1909 should not be a problem.

The 1912 in an ANACS might be.

Really? No for some reason it wont except the 09

[robec1347]

You should probably contact NGC and see if they have any information. The certification didn't work for me either.

The 1912 looks nice, I'll reserve judgement on the 1909 until I see better pics. Good job.

Harvey, I'm curious, what was your reason for buying them? Had you been searching for some, or did the current "hot" market for them influence your decision?

 

Personally, I'd be very cautious about those coins, due to the widespread hype and large price run-up I have seen over the past couple of years. Hopefully you didn't pay through the nose for them and that you bought them because you actually like the coins, as opposed to the hype.

I have followed the Lincoln matte proof niche for years and have been an active buyer and seller over that time on many nice coins. My personal opinion is that I would not want to venture into this arena at this moment unless the coin was terrific and the price matched. These have gone up significantly and many coins have been manipulated prior to certification. The images make me dislike the 1909 quite a bit while the 1912 may or may not be nice.

The 1909 needs to go to NCS, IMO.

[Oldtrader3]

The 1909 NGC, certification number worked fine for me and came up PF63RB.

[harvey8542]

I got it to work. I was told they look better in hand. If not I have 7 days to return for a full refund. To answer Mark's question I plan on keeping 1 for my type set and 1 to sell later.

[harvey8542]

Here is my attempt at photography These coin looks much better in hand. The reverse of the 09 is not as dark, and the12 has a great wood grain look to it.

Fun coins, Harvey. (thumbs u

 

I'd be leery of buying coins to sell later unless you are a dealer. Oftentimes unless you are a professional those sort of coins can be a bad financial decision. Buy a coin because you like it, and no matter what you sell it for later you'll be happy. Also, from my experience, the ones you buy because you like them have a much better chance of appreciating over time. Good luck!
