I have a very beautiful coin it is a matte proof I believe. It has the Obverse and Reverse Errors. I will attempt to take a photo with my new USB Micro-Scope. I am wanting to know if I am correct in what I believe it to be. Should I get it appraised? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Your USB microscope camera has a blurry spot in the middle.

Please post clear images of the whole coin, obverse and reverse.

I think I can safely say it's not a matte proof . The edges of your coin are rounded not square .

+1 for not a proof coin.
It may just be the camera, but that coin doesn't look BU ether.
( no mint luster, spots on coin, scratches & dings )

Those images are not very helpful. If I were to judge only by them, I would say definitely not a proof. If it were sold to you as such, I would return it.

What can be seen in the images does not look like a proof coin.

I highly doubt that it's the Matte Proof. It looks like a normal 1909 P Lincoln Wheat cent.

Doubtful it's a matte proof, but we'll need clear images to tell for sure.

By any chance have you left the lens protector on. It still magnifies but has blurry spots like shown.
