The "1910" part is right, but not the "proof" part.

 

Hi Jello,

The Rims are one of the most distinctive indicator for me, They should be flat and sharp edged all around, with a perpendicular edge. This doesn't eliminate counterfeits of course. I had poste this is the other matte thread and still on the clipboard, so I will post it here also

Jim is right, IMO. Not a MPL.

 

But couldn't the sharp edge of the rim have been worn down by circulation ?

No part of the 1910 cent pictured resembles a proof. (See Kevin Flynn's new book on Matte Proof Lincoln Cents, for detailed information.)
