1909 Proof or Business?

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

looks normal business strike.

 

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?

 

Yes, I agree with above, business strike.

 

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.
