Proof or Plated

I just pulled this 1959 out of a roll. Is it Proof or Plated?

Not an expert on nickels but isn't there too much lighting on this coin for a proper assessment? Just back of on the lighting please. Thanks.

 

The picture is too overexposed to tell.

 

Way too weakly struck to be a proof.

 

Well preserved Business Strike, maybe?

 

Thanks everyone. I need better photos. I have a 1959 proof. Perhaps I can get the two of them together.

 

Hard to tell from those photos but I’d go with a business strike due to it looking like a worn die struck it and it didn’t circulate a lot.

 

I see a lot of die scratches on this coin. I will get them recorded later.

 

Nice business strike

 

Need a clear photo in normal light. But there are WAY too many steps
for a 1959 business strike. I would lean to Proof.

 

I'm kind of leaning to a business strike in decent condition, with a somewhat worn die (seeing some softness in the lettering, Jefferson's hair, and the edges of Monticello, but the steps are still pretty sharp. So only slightly worn die). But hard to tell with the lighting.
