Thanks for the article, I did not know a new die was found for the matte proofs, very interesting. To you coin, it's not a matte proof, again the rim is clearly beveled which is diagnostic of all matte proofs, even the new die found here, quote from the article,

'The rims were polished and wide and were squared with sharp edges. The fields also ramped up quickly to the inner rim edge, again supporting it being a Matte Proof. Most of the letters and numbers were bold and squared'

You coin does not exhibit those characteristics. I'll tell you a little story, I found a beautiful 1909 cent in circulation, low MS and toned. I must have looked at the coin for 2 weeks, comparing it to the matte proof diagnostics. One day I would be convinced it was a proof, the next I would second guess. Over time, I started to be more objective with the coin and realized that it was just a nice 1909 coin.

Yeah. I will check it in a week or two. Might not be seeing things by then. Thanks

The rims on yours aren't razor sharp inside or out. The beveling is slight, but it is apparent.

@Krd046 could you post a link to that article again? The first 8 times you posted it are now on a different page and I am too lazy to go back a page to find it.

@Krd046 did you submit this, if so what did they say, show pickers of the holder.
