Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 09/23/2018 2:00 pm Unfortunately the pictures don't show how pretty the toning is in this penny. Could it be the matte proof? Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 09/23/2018 2:07 pm Can you get sharper pics and center them?

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 09/24/2018 3:16 pm Just coincidence, can you get photos of your coin like the pic from NGC above? Here's some more research links. Lincoln Cent Matte Proofs, published in 2009-This is a book that's invaluable for matte proof or Lincoln Cent collectors. https://forums.(150827) Not Allowed - Auto Removed/discussion/985947/what-are-the-diagnostics-for-1916-matte-proof-lincoln - An article from another iternet forum on this topic. http://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/30414430_max.jpg and http://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/81...8749_max.jpg. Check for the die markers. On the reverse there's a die scratch below the 'O' in 'ONE'. And a faint die crack that runs the IGWT from 'D' in GOD to the second 'T' in trust. http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/3326 - Link to the PCGS Coinfacts link about the Matte proof good read.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/24/2018 3:27 pm Just a normal business strike cent. The design was stronger that year. Note the clearness of the strike on the coin on the right. Normal strike on the left. Report this Post to the Staff
