    That's definitely without a doubt not a proof Morgan silver dollar. The denticles are wrong. The denticles on a proof coin are very sharp and squared where the denticles here are flat and rounded. It does however appear to be a nice mint state coin and it's hard to see in the pictures but it might even be PL.

    Where did you get that image? Because that is not the reverse of a 1885 Proof Morgan, that is the D (1921) reverse.

    Sorry, I still don't see a proof from the pictures you have provided. I have looked at a lot of proof Morgans over the years and this one just isn't convincing me.

    I would recommend sending it to get graded to PCGS or NGC for the final verdict as we all know how tricky these pictures can be and if it IS a proof it needs to be graded anyways.

    im near a pcgs im going to get it graded and you are def right.but from what i see its def a proof.well i say 95 percent sure it matches the proof pic i have exactly in detail color clarity and the edgemarks are exactly the same.

    proof coins do NOT have luster in the fields,as the die was polished to perfection,and it was struck so hard,there sealed.just like any other proof.sorry but you have a very nicely struck regular morgan dollar.if you put the coin up to your face,outside of the 2x2 you should be able to shave with it.sorry,better luck next time.

    luster is there,not a proof
