    Found one last Monday in a roll, and here's a different one I found today > a 2007-S Montana Clad Proof. It was definitely in circulated shape - I had to check if SF made non-proof Quarters that year - but that wasn't until 2012. Aside from the circulation marks and tarnish around the edges, it has a proof-glossy background with all raised surfaces matte. 2007S-MontanaCircProof,Obv.JPG 2007S-MontanaCircProof,Rev.JPG

    It is now called an Impaired Proof.

    FYI: The raised surfaces are frosted (cameo). Like this....

    Always cool to find a proof in a roll. I always wondered way somebody would break open a proof set and dump em in circulation. Of course now it is an Impaired Proof. But still neat
    In your obverse photo, I see doubling on the front of his face. Is that just because of the photo, or is it really there? I did not find that listed in Variety vista. Just curious.

    I looked at the coin with more magnification and I think that's just the way the light reflected from the source on the left. The left edge of all the raised surfaces, front and back, have a bit of that. the lighting is from the left, but reflected downward from directly overhead (Dennis Richard's setup), which is why the flat surfaces don't appear dark, like your coin.

    Someone got into dads coins and spent them. You now have an impaired proof.
