Any die scratches that may once have been there would be completely worn off a coin in that condition. There is absolutely no indication that this coin is anything except a normal business strike coin.
You received responses from a number of experienced numismatists saying that your coin is not a matte proof. Additional pics will not help.
If you feel that the members are incorrect, and you actually have something, send it to PCGS for authentication. Unless it is authenticated by a reputable TPG, you're likely to get the same response from dealers or auction houses if you ever try to sell it.

Or, send it to PCGS to be authenticated if you won't believe people here.

Please post the results when it comes back.
Yep, if you are convinced, send it off to PCGS for attribution. Just make sure it is money you are willing to lose.
