Definitely not a Proof Coin. No proof coins were made in 1919.

We would need better pics to see if it is a doubled die or not. There are no DDs known for 1919, so it's unlikely.
Rest in Peace

There were no proof coins struck in 1919 . Your Lincoln looks VF-25 . I can see why you might think this was a proof by the obverse rims .

Plus hold coins by the rims not the sides as you have a chance of applying acidic fingerprints to it

With new pics it shows last 9 is just circulation damage.

The 9 looks like a die chip to me.

To me the last 9 looks like coin contact flattened that area of the coin. Not a proof or a matte proof. They were not struck that year. 1916 was the last year for them:
