Is this a proof??

Looks like a normal strike to me.

 

Looks like a business strike. One of the more common dates, they struck over 10 million of them

 

I haven't found a single PCGS Business strike with denticles like my coin has

 

Here is a link to the 1896 proof, it shows all of the die markers to recognise which die pairing applies. You have the coin in hand, your photos are too small to see any die markers

In all your searching? You don't say? That's almost incredible! It must be a proof, what else could it be?

 

Wish I could upload higher resolution

 

100% certain it is not a proof. Looks nothing like a Morgan proof. It isn’t even an uncirculated Morgan.

 

They only struck 762 proofs, the chances of you coming across an unslabbed one is extremely unlikely.

 

On top if it not being one of the 762 proofs, now we can see it's cleaned.

 

Cleaned AU details non proof. Worth 10 bucks.

 

OP’s coin does not quite look like this:

 

A little more than that just on the melt end, but why be fussy?

 

Lol you guys are always good for a laugh. It has said die markers, but that won't change your opinions we all know that

 

We’re good for a laugh? You post a $10 buck ugly coin, and think you hit the lottery?

 

from what source? What are you looking at so I can give my opinion.

From what I found on my own I have come to the conclusion it is just a business strike. The chances were low but I did look

 

This coin doesn't have nearly the fields for proof anyway.

 

Do let us know when PCGS certifies it as one of the 762 proofs...
