Regular Business strike. Not Proof strike.

 

For comparison, see the mirror-like finish on the proof. It is apparent even though some toning has started on the surface.



Compared to a business strike.

 

Fun fact: The 1956 cent is the most common year of all years in the Lincoln series. True.

 

Most common of the Wheat Ear reverse Lincoln cent.
But more accurately stated as the highest mintage of the Wheat Ear Reverse cents.

 

Also with Proofs if you compare the rim you'll find that a Proof is square edges on the rim.

 

Really cool post. The images show what is tough to put in words.

 

It’s the Lincoln standing on his head variety. Then he rolled over on his side.
