1948 Canada quarter

I picked up a Canadian quarter at the TNA last weekend. The grade from PCGS seemed a bit off - it looks proof-like to me, but has an AU-55 label.

There weren't proofs made in Canada in 1948, but there were presentation pieces. Are there any telltale markers for the presentation strikes?

My "go to" for proof coins is the 90 degrees edges and that one looks beveled.

 

Canada made BS coins for normal circulation, and they also made proof like coins and sets intended for collectors. I am not sure how far back that goes. I know at least the 1950's.
