I would have to do like six years worth of honey do's for santa to leave me an 09 proof! -I did get a four foot tall tempered glass container to put my copper cents in, I thought I had a lot, now looks like a drop in the bucket...more hunting ahead. Congrats! Report this Post to the Staff

I thought to be proof it needed to have the mirrored background. the term proof is used for coins struck with carefully prepared dies for presentation purposes rather than for commerce. there are matte proofs, brilliant proofs, and satin proofs. you're thinking of only the brilliant proofs. proof 1909 cents were matte proofs, which gave them a rough looking appearance because the dies were sandblasted. matte proofs werent really popular at the time but have gained popularity since. the one in the picture is a really nicely untoned example. many are blue, purple, orange, green, yellow, and just about every other color.
