Yes, how did it come out?

 

When you're trolling, you can't leave yourself open like this. Now your schtick is up. You should have started practicing at a stamp collecting forum before coming over here. Way easier to troll an Inverted Jenny than a 1909 Matte Proof.

 

If, and that is a big if, the coin was a 1909 MPL struck from Obv Die #2 and Rev Die #2, it would not be designated Type 2. Just like any other coin that uses several die marriages aren't labeled Type 2, 3 or 50. It might be possible to have the grading company list the die marriage on the label as they do with Bust Halves and the Overton numbers.

Here are Kevin Flynn's diagnostics for Obverse and Reverse Die #2's
BTW all Die #2 were paired together. There were no Obv Die #1 paired with Rev Die #2 or no Obv Die #2 paired with Rev Die #1.
