Cherie1md New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/21/2023 4:24 pm Hi, How can you determine if I have a 1909 matte penny or not? Are there any other distinguishing markings that would help me identify if I have the rare version of this penny? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 2:14 pm The strike on the mate proofs are a lot stronger, giving more definition to the strikes: CoopHome: How can you tell the differences between a Matte Proof 1910-1916 cents from a normal 1910-1916 cents the matte proofs have a stronger strike because they are struck twice.
