My 1915 has die gouges along the rim on the reverse the same as a matte proof. However I dont think the rims are right and neither is the bowtie. I believe it may have been struck with retired proof dies though which would explain a few things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have an actual 1912 matte proof though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
