BTW... it doesn't look anything like the way it turned out in the photos. In person, its red, not brown. and has cartwheel luster.... I think Apple starts messing with our phones the closer it is to the next model release. Its an iphone 14 Pro max, just over a year old.. . it used to take good pics... now something is definetly off.

Anyone else having issues with their iphone's camera?

Maybe I can help one of you... I don't buy rolls labeled "unsearched" and only from sellers that have a lot of listings and a lot of sales that wouldn't have time to search their rolls if they wanted to. I have had pretty good luck searching for "wheaties" this way... Thanks again.

updated pics... Its still not very clear.. I'm not sure why my phone is acting up...

I think the die lines match the PCGS photo. Does this make it a slightly circulated proof?

I still do not think this is a proof.

You have a business strike, no doubt.

1909 was the first year for the Lincoln Cent. The hubs & dies were brand new and the mints produced many high quality coins that can exhibit proof-like qualities. The question of "is my 1909 a proof" has come up perhaps a 100 or more times in the forum - even by yours truly. Try using the forum search feature - you'll see what I mean.

Not a proof - even with square rims and matte fields:
