joeturbo26 Pillar of the Community United States 1193 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 04:23 am Check this one out! Any matte proof experts care to weigh in?! I'd bet on it not being a proof, but hey, you never know! That rim is so crisp and sharp! Report this Post to the Staff

NoCentsKyle Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 05:40 am WoW joeturbo26 that is a great 1909! I don't know about the matte proof portion as I am still learning but I do believe I see pretty strong PIDT on the Reverse of your coin. Is it ok to ask how it was acquired? If I am out of line in anyway please disregard. Edited by NoCentsKyle 06/29/2025 05:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15572 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 07:04 am Beautiful coin indeed. I'm not an expert on the proof versions of these but I do say it is well struck. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
joeturbo26 Pillar of the Community United States 1193 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 07:16 am Thanks Kyle. It was won at auction. I don't necessarily see PIDT, maybe it's just the photo. I'd argue if there was PIDT, then it can't possibly be a proof . but again, who knows! Lol Report this Post to the Staff

NoCentsKyle Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 3:58 pm Maybe you're right, could be the photo. I actually like my coins having PIDT cause that usually means that it has a good looking mint, is PIDT considered a bad thing? Could a proof not have PIDT? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75387 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 8:37 pm Mikev50, PIDT stands for Progressive Indirect Design Transfer. It's a form of Die Deterioration, also known as "Ghosting". https://www.error-ref.com/progressi...gn-transfer/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
