    I found this coin in circulation in February 2013 and it has been in my coin book ever since. I recently noticed a proof characteristic, The rims. I did find it in a machine wrapped roll which means it had to have been in circulation for a bit of time before making it to the rolling company hence causing the wear. Anyway do you think this a proof?

    P.S. Yes, I know I have bad handwriting.

    Looks like a business strike to me.

    You found THAT in circulation? Nice, the oldest thing I've ever found (personally) was a 1941 wheat penny!
