<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 3120864, member: 24544&quot;]Thanks for the article, I did not know a new die was found for the matte proofs, very interesting.&nbsp; To you coin, it&#039;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,</p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;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&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>You coin does not exhibit those characteristics.&nbsp; I&#039;ll tell you a little story, I found a beautiful 1909 cent in circulation, low MS and toned.&nbsp; I must have looked at the coin for 2 weeks, comparing it to the matte proof diagnostics.&nbsp; One day I would be convinced it was a proof, the next I would second guess.&nbsp; Over time, I started to be more objective with the coin and realized that it was just a nice 1909 coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
