Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 592 Posts	Posted Today 4H 44M ago Bought this about 5 years ago to add to my LWC collection. It is in about XF condition, with a pretty decent strike. Upon a further look as I am inventorying everything, it sort of looks like a matte proof. I highly doubt it is, but any thoughts?

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19983 Posts	Posted Today 4H 20M ago Not even close to an MPL. 1909 was the first year for the Lincoln Cent, they are all very well struck and many look similar to a proof - but they are not.
