So.many.scratches.

I would not consider it proof-like. I wouldn't pay much, if any, over melt for it.

 

39.00, saw ngc price for pl ms-63 was 400.00 so took a chance...

 

this was the original listiing, it "looked" prooflike" in their pics, so i went for it, i am returning it as we speak, label printed..this makes the 3rd item this week...i can see in hand that it is definately a circ strike, and au at best, i am really dissatisfied with it, but ebay always backs up the buyer so....say la vee

as you can see, the chatter is non showing, and it looks like a pl...deceptive advertising, so vendor loses...

 

And I thought I finally sold that one.

 

Deceptive photography.

 

I would say that coin is proof-like from what little bit of the original surface I can see. This designation seem to be fairly common with Canadian coins. Proof-like coins are stuck with dies made for circulating coins. The one you posted looks like it did circulate a bit and is no longer an MS coin. I don't think term 'proof-like' is a designation of any type of grade. It is more a designation of die stage.
I have heard it used for Morgan dollars, but not many other US coins.

The photos do deceptively hide all that surface damage. Note how long the shadow of the coins are. It may help with a future purchase.

 

That big ol' obverse scratch is still clear on the original listing photo. I would've taken one look at that shot and said "details coin".

 

YES, BUT ORIGINAL PICTURES DOE LOOK MORE ROOFLIKE" METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THAN DOES COIN IN HAND, returning coin anyhow..

 

Definitely proof-like based on the seller's photos. And your photos show what can happen to proof coins subjected to even a little bit of circulation.

This is a good example of how difficult — and sometimes deceptive — photography of mirrored surfaces can be.
