    I'm having some trouble identifying if this is the normal 1909 Business strike or the Matte Proof. What do you guys think?

    The matte has almost a sandblasted texture. Yours looks like a business strike, but a nice piece none the less.

    It's a business strike. Why do you believe it might be a matte proof?

    Being as new as I am, I wouldn't know a business strike from a labor strike...
    but those are some really good pictures, bro....

    Proofs have a very defined beard.

    Today I posted a 1909 matte proof obv. and edge in this thread if you are interested, near the bottom. Didn't want to repeat with the photos.
