1909 VDB matte proof
Die scratches from Lincoln’s mouth heading south-south east, dot centered between D & B, crescent die gouge next to M, and square rim.

Clearly NOT a matte proof.

Oh my, nice try, but no.
I can’t see your die scratch next to the M, but those rims aren’t even close to sharp. Those are rounded tor beveled. The rims should have razor sharp edges.
Die scratches in the field running parallel with the nose.
Also I don’t see the die scratch from the shoulder to the field.

Beyond all those die markers... your rims are NO WHERE NEAR MPL.
Keep trying.

Not even close.

As others have said. No cigar. Keep looking I’m sure there is one or two hiding

In reviewing all of your posts for today, if only you were asking for inputs from the forum rather than taking unsubstantiated positions. As Harry Callahan said, "A man's got to know his limitations".

You don't need to look for die markers before you can tell that's not a matte proof.
