On nine occasions in the 20th century, the Denver Mint produced fewer than one million coins in a certain year and denomination.
All 1911 matte proof Lincoln cents are scarce, but this issue isn't quite as scarce as other early Lincoln proofs, such as the 1909 VDB and 1916. Matte proofs look similar to their same-year business-strike counterparts in many regards, though this is proven untrue upon closer inspection. A few of the major differences between matte proofs and business strikes come in surface quality and detail. Matte proofs have squared-off rims and finer details, and they also boast granular surfaces.
