<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stuhagen, post: 442778, member: 15972&quot;]OK, I read another thread here about the possibility of a matte proof 1909 VDB. It was a majority &quot;no&quot;. I know absolutely nothing about coins. I recently moved my mother into a home and came across this typed note about only 420 made. The only research I could find was that this elusive &quot;matte prf&quot; coin in 1909 had a circ of (420). So my only hat to hang is the statement on this typed note of only 420 being made. I also could not find anything about the coins being engraved with Lincolns birthdate. Now, I suppose some jeweler when he surrounded the coin in gold and attached this chain, inscribed that date. So all in all it could be worth 10 cents, but I suppose it is worth throwing it out here for an opinion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>TIA....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PS: There is a VDB on the back of the coin BTW,,just didnt take that pic.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edit: On that other thread someone made a comment about the edges being a bit beefier and more square. Unfortunately, this specific coin has a Gold surround with an eyelet for a chain. (not pictured). Only way to know is to pry off the surround. (which I may do)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
