This coin has no characteristics of a Proof. It looks to be a harshly cleaned Business Strike.
Welcome. Photos would help. The 'U' in TRUST on your coin should be a 'U', not a 'V'. The 'V' only appears on Standing Liberty Quarters and...
"6 Coins Copper, Penny, One Cent, USA" with a BIN price of $1,550. He has already sold two! (Of course, both sales were to a shill.) Someone...
Ole Vette1996 still playing games on eBay?
Let me know when you get your time machine. I have a few items on my want list that I'd like to pick up at 1970 prices (or 1855 prices).
By "Indian Head fractional Eagles" do you mean the $2 1/2 & $5 Indians (Quarter Eagle and Half Eagle respectively)? Can you give an example of...

Hmmm. Like Camaro said, it could be a CWT. We have some CWT collectors here that may be able to shed some light on it.
Very interesting. It could be a CWT (Civil War Token), a crude fake or simply a fantasy piece. Is it the same size as a regular Small Cent? Can...
Looks like a Washington medal of some sort. If you can post the weight, diameter and composition someone may be able to identify it.
Can you weigh the coin? (A coin dealer or jeweler can weigh it for you if you don't have an accurate scale.) A clad quarter should weigh 5.67...
