Are you sure it is proof? It looks like a slight mis strike on the reverse rim.

 

It may be the way I oriented the photo... I'll look when I get home

 

If it's a proof, then the outer steps on Monticello should be bold, as well as the main steps. I can't tell from the pic.

 

I believe some of us assumed it to be a MS coin from the title of the thread...1959-P, which I depict as a MS. No need to mention the P if it's a Pf.

 

I grade it MS blurred details 58 slider, until clear photos are provided.

 

Strictly on this photo, 66 or 67, depending on TPG...I find they can differ quite often plus depending on graders/teams, day and time (no Friday late afternoon getaway grades, please) ...and of course full steps may depend on 5 or 6, and again which service.

 

In my opinion, I don't believe it is a proof, so I did not vote at the top of the post.
For GTG with no limits, I'd guess MS63. And that might be a little optimistic. Mainly because of the detail (or lack of) on the obverse.

 

Surely you can't be serious!

 

The coin looks like a colorful PROOF. I don't see any rub; however, Proofs are mostly graded by spots and HAIRLINES and the image is not good enough to see if any of these surface imperfections are present.

Since the coin was a gift, she probably gave you a nice coin.

 

Yep! Just don't call me Shirley!

I did say it was my opinion. It seems like you are seeking confirmation of your preconceived notion. And anyone not in lockstep with you does not have a serious viewpoint.
