<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 658136, member: 15199"]If the photos are accurate, I would suspect not, but the rim of the coin could easily sway me if it is perpendicular. Most 1910 MLP the edge is flat and very even around the perimeter of both obverse and reverse, and the edges have very vertical edges inside and outside ( rim). The inside edge of this one appears to be somewhat curved going into the fields and the perimeter slightly uneven. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I would not confirm/deny until one sees the edge to see if a right angle between the edge and rims, IMO. Even then, early strikes of MS often were very confusing without markers to help. CU has some threads on various LMP markers and a new book has come out on Lincoln Matte proofs also. Sorry, I can't say for sure, I have seen some in PCGS holders that don't really look like a matte proof because part of the rim is obscured.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
