Still sure. Rims aren't sharp enough and don't show enough finning. Rims are sharper then usual, but not nearly as strong as they would be. One look at the reverse and it's obvious it's not a matte proof. There reverse rims are completely flat and not sharp and squared off.

Agree, this is not a matte proof. Grape is correct about the rims.

Yeah, it seems like it would be worth the fees to at least be sure. Thanks for all the feedback fellas.

In addition to the rims, a real matte proof would have much sharper detail in the design elements. I don't see any evidence of that here. Looks like a low end unc. IMO.

Lacks the details in my photos maybe...this photo comparison is only so so because my photography sucks...this one is blurry compared to the PCGS photo I used, but this coin is giving me fits trying to photograph it...the details are there...1910 isn't as detailed of a year either. This coin has the strangest luster and light refraction I've ever tried to capture in a photo...ugh.  |

I would try turning your coin 90 degrees counter clockwise, it would show the beard details better. Took me a while to figure that out. No idea if you've got a proof but hope so.

Lower vest and nape of neck weakly struck and indicative of a business strike. Plus the fields don't have the correct finish
