<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 3120122, member: 74343&quot;]According to Kevin Flynn&#039;s book, there is only a single pair of dies used to strike the non VDB 1909 MP. Any other dies that might have been used have not been verified as to exist, as far as I know.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you were to send it in I dont think the TPGs will call it a MPL. Atleast not by what Im seeing in these pics. If you could take better pics that would be nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the rims, they arent square all the way around and it isnt uncommon for 1909 business strikes to have thicker squared rims. The edge is thick and sharp but doesnt convince me it is a Matte proof.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also dont believe that is typical toning from the tissue paper matte proofs were sold in. But again better pics are needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>If your coin doesnt show the markers typical of the known die pair then I dont think it has much chance to get an MP grade. Although PCGS made a mistake not too long ago. Even IF it by some chance is verified as a MPL, I think it would get an impaired grade. And thats a big IF.</p><p><br /></p><p>But like i said better pics would be helpful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
