Good afternoon,

I was hoping to get the opinion from the years of experienced members of this forum. I have read an extensive amount of information on this particular coin posted with pictures and explanation and I believe my coin does have many of the die makers described. Thanks in advance

The strike matte proof coins are stronger and these coins were struck twice and not meant to be circulated. The strike stands on on them:

Most remained in cello for many years, thus the unique colors on these.

The rims are different on the business strike cents and the matte proof cents:

The coin has definitely seen better days one of the die markers that really made me even post this coin was the raised U after the unum that was very prominent. I am going to try and post better pics the more detailed are actually taken with my phone of the screen image from my microscope.

"detailed are actually taken with my phone of the screen image from my microscope."
Try the screen capture (control prn scrn type) instead of taking a picture of the computer screen. Will show up better.
Also, zoomed in way to much on the microscope if you are looking to figure out a proof coin or not.
