A "Matt (or Matte) Proof FDC" coin is one that is struck on specially prepared and polished dies, and the coins further hand finished. On modern coins, the highlights would be finely granulated giving the coin a sharp contrast between the flat surfaces and the image. On 19th century coins, the surface might have been finely granulated giving the coin a sharp contrast between the flat surfaces and the image.
