Is this penny a circulated impaired proof?!?

    Slightly higher than a normal penny, fields and devices contrast is crazy consistent and a different color on every device, rims are squared, fields are 100% reflective like I've never seen before......but I'm having trouble telling if it's a proof or not having been circulating for nearly 30 years now.... What is your opinion?!? Thanks! :)

    First, welcome to the neighborhood @a_squuared !

    Honestly, I can't tell anything from that photo. Please remove it from the plastic and take images of both sides from directly overhead. Be sure to crop out all of the unnecessary background before resizing it, and when you post it, please use "Full Image" rather than the Thumbnail. The Thumbnail is worthless.

    I think I see plating blisters on the picture of the Reverse.

    It's just a normal cent.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I do not think that is a proof.

    Can you take a picture of the obverse (the heads side)?

    It is a very detailed frosted cameo looking 1990 no S that is a different type of shine and reddish color than any penny I've ever seen. People keep telling me that if I had in fact found a circulated proof no s 1990, than by 2018, it would be CRAZY hard to tell...

    Normal circulated Philadelphia minted cent. Definitely not a proof.
