Do you know what the markers for a 1909 VDB "double die" are?
You can see them here:

I would say the chances of your well circulated (but still fairly nice) 1909 VDB being certified as a matte proof are very low.
Usually the decision to have a coin slabbed depends on the cost of slabbing, the price with or without slabbing (at the given grade level), and the likelihood of the coin being classified in the variety category and grade you expect.
For example, say cost of slabbing is $30, grade looks like F-12, but 50% chance that it will return as "no grade due to cleaning". And sale price in an F-12 slab is $15, vs. $5 raw.
Expected profit of slabbing = .5*15 + .5*5 - 30 = -$20 . So you lose $20 on average by slabbing. At best you lose $15.
send them all, God will sort them out.

Are you serious?

Best of luck with your submission... Please let us know the results....It can be helpful to others considering submissions. Cheers, RickO
Probably want to clarify on your submission as you have a spelling errror.
It is not a MATTE PROOF
It is a MAT PROOF
For myself, having coins graded, has the same 2 basic criteria as buying coins:
1 Does it make numismatic sense?
2 Does it make financial sense?
and there is perhaps a 3rd criteria.....does it make common sense?
of course, if you have "endless deep" pockets and simply want to see your coins locked in to plastic, it does not matter.
