I bid on and won this uncirculated 1910 Wheat cent since I thought it has a good possibility of being a matte proof. It looks to be a later die state matte proof with square rims and die scratches that match those I found on a PCGS image of a graded 1910 matte proof. (Near the rim above WE and the first T in TRUST and near the rim directly east of the beard and above the 0 in the date).      The scratches match those on this PCGS Proof Coin:  I can take better pics if needed. What do you think? Edited by Tanman2001

The rims certainly look it and if you are able to make out die markers between your example and graded Matte Proof I think you have a winner. Congrats on a fine cherry pick.  |

Fantastic looking cent, regardless. I do hope it can be verified as a matte proof. |

Well if it is not one, I can certainly see why you asked! This is an amazing looking cent. Congrats on a great pickup. And I like yours better than the pics of the toned one.

Really superb example. That rim is certainly sharp. I'd send it or photos to Eagle Eye, then consider NGC or PCGS.

What/Who is Eagle Eye? I think Mox is referring to Rick Snow the owner of Eagle Eye Rare Coins. On his website on the Contact Us page there is an option to ask about a coin. https://www.indiancent.com/index.php/contactsI've never utilized this and cannot comment on how quick he replies or if he charges for a consultation. Regardless, a beautiful cent. -MV |

Can't really say one way or the other. I would get it graded and see what happens.

Certainly looks like a strong possibility. Hope it gets confirmed by NGC. Congrats on a potentially great cherrypick!
