<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JDS, post: 693616, member: 20515&quot;]I found this 1909 Lincoln penny in a roll of wheat cents today. It immediately jumped out to me because it was so shiny and bright. At first look, I thought I was looking at a 1943 steel penny that was in very good condition. I was really surprised to see if was a 1909. </p><p><br /></p><p>The details on the coin are very clear, and I am afraid that my pictures do not do the coin justice. I was reading about 1909 proofs but everything I read was on the matte proof. This penny has a very nice luster to it, not a matte finish at all. However, the rim or edge of the penny is very squared, not rounded like other pennies. </p><p><br /></p><p>Were there any proofs made of 1909 Lincolns that were not matte proofs? Please take a look at these photos and let me know if you think I might have something of value. I will try to get better photos later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
