The United States Mint has selected 37 American artists to participate in its Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) to create and submit new designs for coins and medals.
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.
