<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValpoBeginner, post: 3038416, member: 77066&quot;]Looks like the right rims, for it, but I remember reading, I think in the Red Book, that the rims should blaze in light very brightly.&nbsp; In looking at the rims I also notice a slight difference in the thickness of the square part of the rim that is not uniform.&nbsp; But I have never heard of this being abnormal for the matte proof.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could this be due to someone grinding the rims to look square?&nbsp; Strong strike for sure....Is it the real McCoy?&nbsp; I certainly am not sure, but I&#039;d look up all the die markers possible for the strike, possibly in an older book you could borrow from the ANA&#039;s big Library collection, or leave it up to the graders.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll post a picture of one I thought was a matte proof, quite a few years ago but turned out not to be.&nbsp; Yours looks much more like a Matte Proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
