Proof Lincoln Cents
1936 1C Type One -- Satin Finish PR67 Red and Brown NGC. Ex: Childs. On its own, the orange-gold reverse is Red, though the lilac and rose obverse is Red and Brown. A razor-sharp and immaculate specimen. Since Walter Childs died in 1906, the present coin was presumably obtained by his son and heir, Charles Frederick Childs, better known for his purchase of the finest known 1804 dollar.
Ex: Walter H. Childs Collection (Bowers and Merena, 8/1999), part of lot 85; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2012), lot 3250.
