I agree with Spence. Full pics of the obverse and reverse please.

Nice images but we definitely need full obverse and reverse images to help, before sending it in to get slabbed and spending your hard earned $$.
Early matt proof Lincolns are more than the shape of the rims.
Certain die scratches and other markers are known and will be used for attribution by a grading company.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

It doesn't look like a proof but a cleaned Unc. Try changing the lighting and put up another photo

Normal business strike. Not a proof.

The inner photos are of the markings they look for as a proof, the cresent die chip by the M in UNUM and the die mark from the decimal between the D and B in V.D.B.? What makes you say that it is not a proof?

I am strongly inclined to think you have a really really nice business strike cent. If you feel that it is a proof I definitely would send it in to a TPG. Beautiful cent you have. |

I am with the consensus that it is not a proof. But a TPG would be the final word. |

Those are not the squared rims of a proof.

I recall that for at least some years, including 1909VDB, that the proof die was later used for circulation strikes - this may be the case here.

If they do reuse a die, it would only be struck once. Thus the Matte proof strike have a lot more detail Also the die strike are limited in number before they are retired.
