    Also proof is a method of striking coins it is NOT a condition. Just because your coin looks like a proof does not make it so. It takes specially prepared dies and coin planchets to be struck as a proof.

    In one of your images the edge corner looked to be chamfered, which identifies a business strike as it is needed to go into machines. Proofs have very sharp right angle edges with no rounding on the very edge . Here is a proof edge. Jim

    Clearly not a proof. Look at how rough the fields are particularly on the reverse. Let us know how it comes back.
