BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19977 Posts	Posted 09/05/2018 8:12 pm Square rims were pretty normal for business strikes in 1909 and 1910. It was a new master hub and fresh dies. It's a business strike IMO. Recommend you google 1910 Lincoln Cent proof diagnostics. Lots of pictures and descriptions if you look enough. Without die markers, it's not a proof. The probability of finding an old proof without the markers is rare to impossible. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Jbedwell Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 09/05/2018 9:34 pm How is that rims are so important and this rim is not squared at the 6 o'clock https://www.ebay.com/itm/1913-PROOF...!74014!US!-1 Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19977 Posts	Posted 09/05/2018 10:53 pm I have found there can be some odd parallax making the rims hard to judge from photos. This is especially true inside slabs - where it's even worse! The rims are just one part, it must have the die markers. Lincoln Cent Lover!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19977 Posts	Posted 09/05/2018 10:57 pm I picked up this coin at my local dealer, a 1909 with nearly perfectly square rims and matte fields. It's not a proof but does a convincing imitation. Notice the parallax near the bottom. The rims are just as square there in hand - but they look rounded a bit in the picture. This was shot through an airtite. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 09/05/2018 10:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
