Ok so these pics are not very good. This coin is in a case so sorry up front

I know it's extremely unlikely but this coin has all the markings of the 1909 VDB Matte proof. Please help tell me I'm crazy

I will also take better pics.

It's literally impossible to know for sure because of picture quality, but the rims aren't wide and flat, the period between the D. B on the initials doesn't look correct and the details seem lacking. What was it graded?

Not a matte proof, I think, and not even mint state - I'd guess AU details (apparent obverse staining).

This has nothing that might suggest a proof of any type. that this is AU, not MS.

Here is some better reverse pics. The holder is scratched so it's hard to tell
