It's a very nice looking coin. Compare it to the PCGS site and wait for the opinion of more experienced members.

The rim above "WE TRUST" doesn't look square to me. It's still a nice looking coin.

The obv is not square enough, I am sure you are hoping for a proof.

I vote nay

 

Nice coin but I'm not seeing a matte proof.
The detail is not there. Look at the beard and the eye.

 

YouTube auction ?

 

Yes they do live streams and auction off coins. Its wild, iv picked up some steals on there.

 

What song did you sing?

 

I'd close, but no cigar. The rims are not there for a Matte Proof. Here is 1909 Lincoln in Matte Proof.

 

Here are some reverse diagnostics to look for.

Two die scratches inside the C of CENT - one diagonal in the center and one vertical on the inside left.


A long die scratch from the M in UNUM towards the E in ONE


Parallel die scratches inside the U of UNUM also between the N and U



A die scratch from the S in PLURIBUS traveling under the U.



Both loops of the S in PLURIBUS are filled with extra metal.



Die scratches between the I and B of PLURIBUS



Not many Obverse diagnostics.

Check for die scratches or gouges around the WE area.



Keep in mind that the diagnostics have to match exactly, not just close or similar.
