General Notes: The proof 1909 Lincoln cent is scarce in an absolute sense, as only a fraction of the pieces minted are known to exist. 1909 proof Lincoln cents were made with a matte finish, and at first glance they may appear very similar to a nice uncirculated business strike. Matte proofs are physically different from business strikes in that the former feature squared-off rims, very strong strike and fine details, and granular fields.
