Any chance this one's a matte proof?

I just don't know enough about the series to know yet it shows characteristics I've heard discussed on this forum in the past.

50/50?
Absolutely YES!! ?

No way, no how. NO. ??

    I don't even have to look at the whole coin, as just looking at the reverse rim (particularly the lower half) to tell that is is not a MPL.

    Edited to add:

    Here are my rims to compare to:

    I've had several VDBs show matte-like surfaces. None of the die characteristics were present.

    Looked like it had a shot until the bottom half of the reverse rim loaded.

    braddick, where did the pics go?

    is this the same coin that the dual personalities are showing/asking about across the street?

    Same guy/s, same problems with him/them ATS as he/they had here. They've already moved three of their threads from the Coin forum to the Water Cooler forum and are threatening to block everyone. It's only a matter of time before they are banned there as well.

    For your amusement. The 3rd link originally was about the VDB. The title of the thread changed 4-5 times during it's run.
