cec-nb New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 7:36 pm Does this look like a 1909 VBD Matte proof? I inherited a large Lincoln collection years back and and finally going through it. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 8:05 pm Lookup the die markers and see if they're there. Die scratches on front of the face is one I believe. However, there are some very well struck 09p vdb's out there with full square looking rims and great strikes with a matte like appearances that fool people at first glance. I believe this is one of them but check for markers Report this Post to the Staff
