In 1909, cents were beautifully struck. They were a new thing, showing a real person for the first time. I sincerely hope you're not suggesting you are looking at a Matte Proof 1909-VDB, because you definitely are not! Look at the raised rim of your coin. It has a rounded top. Matte proof Lincolns have squared off rim tops. Yours is not one. But if you need to have that proven to you, get in touch with Carl Waltz of Millersville, PA. He literally wrote the book on Matte Proof Lincolns, and has documented them by die state. Carl works through Angel Dee's to build his MPL collection. And no, he doesn't deal over the Internet and he doesn't participate on online forums, this or any other one. However, I will be seeing Carl in about 2 hours at the Red Rose Coin Club meeting in Lancaster, PA.

 

Is there no length to which you will not go to convince yourself you've found great rarities?!?! Get a grip, man!
