I may be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure on your dollars the one from san francisco is a proof. I think that the san francisco mint only mints proof coins these days...
Why is there never enough time to do it right the first time, but always enough time to do it over?
San Francisco only makes proof coins and most of those are your commemoratives. Traci
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse: and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
It could be that the presses used, are set much higher with tonnage for the dies, this could cause this condition and the difference from all mints. (:-O) This can be, whether they are UNC or PROOF coins

Proof coins (now made in SF) are coins made specifically for collectors on specially prepared dies and specially prepared coin planchets so that when they are produced they have a mirrored backgrond and frosty devices. In other words, they look a lot shinyer than the regular P and D mint examples.

Exactly. They make the coins in San Francisco that way, intentionally for collectors.
Speak the truth, do not become angered, and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the Gods.
