Could this be a Proof 1909 Lincoln Cent?
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 it was a 1909. 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. 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. http://tiny.cc/9gis8 |
