Do not think so.

 

Yours is not a proof coin. The "square" edge on a proof is on the face of the coin, not the side. You can look at example photos of proof coins from Google Images and you'll see the difference. Also, proof coins would have reflective/mirror like finish on the fields. Yours is a regular 1990 Philadelphia cent.

 

This might help

That is a regular business strike, not an impaired proof.

 

You need to read a beginner's guide to coin collecting, badly.

 

Actually it is on the edge. On a proof the edge will meet the top surface of the rims (obv and rev) at a sharp 90 degree angle with no roll off or bevel between the two surfaces. And it should be like that all the way around the coin.

 

And look at that fingerprint!!!!!

 

Yes, my reply was based on the OPs photos. I guessed that they were trying to show the "square" edge looking at the rim (third side).

 

imo...it can have the best "square edge" ever seen but it is still not a proof...Spark

 

Not even a proof
