    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    Based STRICTLY on the "macro" look, I would. But I am not familiar with this date's diagnostics. The breadth of that rim is compelling.

    While it is a tough case, it does have diagnostics consistent with Obverse #1 and Reverse #2 in late die state. The rims look proof-like and the button hole does match the images in Carl Waltz's book "A Study of Matte Proof Lincoln Cents | 1909 to 1916".

    I'm hoping those collectors with a strong interest in MPLs can add their thoughts and opinions to this case. :greyalien:
