    I can't seem to get the video to play either.... but it's a nice looking Lincoln cent.

    Where is the crescent shaped die chip near the “M” in “UNUM,” the die polish lines in front of Lincoln’s face, or the die polish line under the “R” of “LIBERTY?” Otherwise, it still looks like a business strike and not a proof to me.

    Edit: spelling

    Not a Matte Proof, and I wish there were more of them so that I could have some hope.

    So I'm reading between the lines here, and my takeaway is that there's a chance.

    That about cover it?

    Not a proof coin.

    Zero chance as an MPL. But it looks otherwise authentic.

    The only chance you have at MPL is as a mechanical error. :)

    Very nice cent, and I can see why you are hopeful.... Cheers, RickO

    The dot after the D in VDB appears to be closer to the D and not centered. All VDB MPL's have a centered dot.
