1909 Lincoln Cent First Strike?

[seal006]

I think the only way those two coins would look better is if they were in MY Dansco.

I was already positive the coins were not matte proofs, the coin on the left was just for reference. The 1909 on the right was struck well enough that I thought it could be a first strike or a strike by a new die. Thanks for the comment.

I have checked the 1909 on the right, in the images, it's not a proof. I just wondered about the die state and that's all.

Again, I know neither coin is a Matte Proof.

and I should have said that my post was not directed toward you because I already knew this fact. I was informing the others who insisted that these coins could be proof - after you had already said they were not.

copper coins, sorry for any confusion, not my intention. I value your knowledge and comments, and your website has been a constant research tool of mine. Just to let you know.

Thanks for the responses, but I know it's not a Matte or Sand Blasted Die, it doesn't even have the markers. I just thougth it was a nice coin, but look struck with a new die or hardly used die.

Maybe I misread the question,but the second and third request seems pretty clear. The OP is asking if this is an EDS coin.

Nice sharp strike on your 1909.

Agreed, the first half dozen years of the Lincoln cent are among the most attractive ever produced when you get to see a sharp, well struck example.

As to die state, that's something that's far easier to assertain when one's got the coin in hand. It definitely looks fully struck though with excellent detail. Thanks for sharing a gorgeous coin!
