I call this a "66 coin in 64 clothing". Just monster "PR66-like" eye appeal. There are only 460 PCGS-slabbed 1909 Matte Proof Lincolns in existence, and this is one of the nicer looking examples (IMHO), in spite of the relatively low grade. The light "lines" in the obverse field in front of Lincoln are from die polishing, which used to be done with wire brushes at the U.S. Mint. The early die state was smooth, and when the U.S.Mint employees went to polish the dies mid-year, the workman polished the lines right into the die itself with a wire brush. So when the coin is stamped, the incused "digs" in the upper die show up as raised lines on the obverse of the coin itself (so these are actually ridges and not scratches). CU member Robec nailed the photo.

This is making me laugh! Not only did I completely design this coin "template" for Robec all for FREE. (By the way, he didn't ask for a RobecsImages logo, but I thought he deserved some recognition.) Robec gave me complete and free license to do whatever I want to with the image. I can even transfer the license of the image to any new owner of this coin
