Though all early matte proofs Lincoln cents are categorically scarce, the 1913 proof cent isn't particularly rare among this select group. Some individuals confuse business strikes and matte proofs because they have a somewhat similar appearance. However, matte proofs do have a distinctive look with their squared-off rims, granular fields, and fine details.
Obverse Description
