    I was coin rolling and found this very shiny 1957 penny.

    Sorry but I doubt it very much , remember these were struck on highly polished planchets , and the '57 proof I have , not cameo , has a very reflective Lincoln with not the best details . A better pic would help to tell for sure , as the enlarged pic is too out of focus .

    I agree that it's not a proof.

    Definitely not a proof, but a pretty high grade find for roll hunting! :)

    Nope, It's not a proof. Sorry....It's worth about two cents.

    You can see them selling on eBay for $0.50, but it's true....you have to factor your time, effort & fees into that profit margin.

    9147.jpeg How can you tell if it's a proof? I have a simular penny and I was wondering why it looks brand new.

    Not a proof. Proofs have squared rims; those are rounded.
