1909. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. A beautifully toned specimen with some rose color on the obverse around the border. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Matte Proofs were struck in 1909-16. The types of coin designs in this period (Lincoln cent, Buffalo nickel, Mercury dime, etc.) did not permit the making of bright finish or brilliant Proof specimens. It seems that the face of the die touches almost every part of the planchet on the Victor D. Brenner cents, dulling the surface of even a polished blank. Proof coins of the series therefore were issued with a matte or sandblast finish. It wasnt until the 1930s that the mint developed a technique (still problematic) of creating polished mirror Proofs. A rare opportunity to acquire a fresh red Gem of 1909. Only 2,198 Proofs struck. Pop 54; 47 finer. (PCGS # 3305) Matte Proofs were struck in 1909-16.
