<p>[QUOTE=&quot;carly, post: 809061, member: 22109&quot;]Can you provide a link to the auction?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>From my Lincoln book: (1915 Matte Proof) &quot;The rims and edges are very squared with a nice sharp corner between the edge and rim. Both the obverse and reverse rims and the edge are smooth in appearance...The 1915 has much more detail in the hair on the entire head and throughout the beard. The ear on the 1915 appeared to be more distinct. When comparing the 1915 matte proofs to the 1915 business strikes, the matte proofs had greater detail in the hair behind the ear, in the beard, and the details of the neck.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Saying all that: I would love to think it&#039;s a 1915 matte proof. If it&#039;s on ebay as a raw coin, I would doubt it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>ETA: compare to this (hopefully real) <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1913-Lincoln-Cent-Penny-MATTE-PROOF-SOLID-GEM-PF_W0QQitemZ280461530504QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item414ccf5588" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1913-Lincoln-Cent-Penny-MATTE-PROOF-SOLID-GEM-PF_W0QQitemZ280461530504QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item414ccf5588" rel="nofollow">1913 Matte Proof</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
