I'm also doing cents. I just went to Google and typed in "Lincoln Cents" and found a bunch of sites that list all that were minted.

Most likely it is the business strike version.

This gets outside the realm of my expertise. If the coin is heavily worn, you would never know for sure, unless there are documented die differences.

Even if it were determined to be a heavily worn proof, I doubt it would be worth any more than a similarly worn business strike.
