The 1911 proof Lincoln cent was struck as a matte proof in approximately 1,733 pieces. The matte finish, with its satiny, non-reflective texture, continued the format established in 1909. Matte proof Lincoln cents from this period are scarce and collected as a distinct type from the brilliant proofs that would follow decades later. Authentication is important, as the matte surface can be confused with cleaned or processed circulation strikes.
