Xxavier Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 11/07/2011 11:47 pm It is believed that some 1917 matte proofs were struck illegally. At least one is known to exist. In 1909 two different types of matte proof were minted, one bearing the initials V.D.B. and one without. The 1909 V.D.B. matte proof seems to be the rarest and most valuable matte proof Lincoln Cent Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/08/2011 01:16 am None are "known" to exist. One was believed to exist and it was never proven. According to mint records none were made, and none have been confirmed. As far as I'm concerned - they do not exist. Report this Post to the Staff
