[QUOTE="PaddyB, post: 2996941, member: 40017"]Certainly not proof. The lighter colour maybe because someone has harshly cleaned it (In cola or sauce) a long time ago and then it has re-toned but kept that nasty pink hue that comes from cleaning. Proof coins from this era are exceedingly rare and would be much sharper than this example.
