When I first examined this coin, the fields seemed a little cloudy, giving me the impression I was dealing with a worn die state, their excellent reflectivity notwithstanding. On the other hand, here's what Wayne Miller has to say in The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook specifically about prooflike 1896's struck in Philadelphia - "Some lovely specimens exhibit unusual 'creamy' mirror surfaces and little contrast between field and devices." What do you think? Dare this be called prooflike despite its somewhat atypical appearance? Unfortunately, this example, while it appears to be uncirculated, has dings both above below Liberty's eye that probably limit its grading upside to MS63.
You cannot tell from a photograph, or the ruler test in this case. Based on the photograph, it looks like an ordinarily MS 63 Morgan.
