    The finish is mirror. The camera does not take pictures well of the finish. But I did with and without a flash. DSC03911.JPG DSC03912.JPG DSC03913.JPG DSC03914.JPG DSC03915.JPG DSC03916.JPG

    Doesn't look like a proof to me (though I'm not 100% sure). I'd say UNC, but heavily fingerprinted. Too bad, really, as the underlying luster is nice.

    Not a proof. Lustrous MS.

    Looks like a loss with all the fingerprints on it. Better luck next time! :D

    The rims don’t indicate a proof.

    Here is a Cameo Proof 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar.

    Here is a "regular one" without the cameo. It is still in the Proof coin mint package.

    Hopefully, the OP didn't apply the fingerprint - do TPGs do fingerprint IDs or is that best left to the FBI? :rolleyes:

    I think the finish is finger print, and acetone won't touch it if it's been there for any length of time.

    Do some acetone to see if you can get rid of the fingerprints. Not proof IMHO.
