coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 7:16 pm It is the strike that makes them matte proofs. Not the condition of the coin, but the strike. They are struck twice on dies that are limited to amount of strike made by them. Side by sides of business strikes and matte proof coins: Matte proof 1910: Report this Post to the Staff

Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 7:58 pm Here are the closer images. And thank you all for your replies. So would you say the texture of the coin is from a rusty die? ( someone had mentioned that on the grading forums ) Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 8:15 pm I wouldn't buck coop. But a beautiful coin in any event. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 9:19 pm Of it is a very nice coin, but it isn't a matte proof. They look pretty nice. If you allow your eyes to set in on this image, it is a 3-D image and you can see various layers of the obverse. Edited by coop 07/02/2019 9:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 10:04 pm Oh my gosh Coop, I love those 3-d images! I remember back in the 80s when they had these everywhere in the mall. (Highschool hangout ha ha ) I was just waiting for the hidden image like a rabbit holding up a sign that said " it's a matte proof" :) Report this Post to the Staff
