Were any proof 1909 Lincoln cents produced by the US Mint?
BillZielinski
Yes, there are a handful known, according to mint records 1,194 matte proof coins were struck bearing the VDB and 2,352 struck without. All 1909 Lincoln cent proofs are matte proofs, that is, they do not look like normal proof coins, rather than having polished fields, they have sandblasted fields and so the fields look rather rough. Like normal proof coins, they were struck using high pressure to get all of the design to strike up fully. However, to the untrained eye they do not look "prooflike" and can be mistaken for a better business strike.
