Recut?: 19 of date and Y of Liberty on this 1909 MPL cent. Working on a Lincoln Matte Proof exhibit for next years ANA. Just would like to know how many like this one are out there.

    I'll bet none of the 1909 Proofs look like this one because you have a very nice (I want it) example of ejection doubling on a Lincoln cent. The die is normal - the coin is not.

    Definitely not recut. The coin has machine doubling on some lettering.

    That is a completely different animal. That is a doubled die on a business strike coin.

    Agree, that's why I posted it. I thought the OP got the two confused. Guess not?

    Is the OP calling this a Matte Proof?
