Google "polished, buffed" coins. After John1 said that, it clicked for me, just did not recognize it, to begin with. You will find coins that look just like yours.

it's very difficult to prove an error on a coin damaged as much as this one

Looks like it may have a deep casting seam over the Liberty or someone else was testing this coin to determine authenticity. Just guessing.

Agree with all above--does look worked over (polished), and does show early stage Dryer Coin issues. In addition to everything else, the rim looks to be 'enlarging' depth-wise--closing in a bit. |

This coin is the ODV-025 which it is primary characteristic to be high relief. We say Dryer Coin but could have same effect from rolls machine, coins star, grocery machines, etc. In fact every thing which roll the coin. The rim it is round and all those machines use semi rounded rolls to pass the coins. I think the OP want something like a confirmation of an rare error and not more then this. |

 This coin has seen a buffing wheel. |

Also the simple fact that this coin was minted in Denver, precludes it as being a 'proof' coin. Denver never minted any proof coins at all. Initially Philadelphia produced them, now it is San Francisco and West point.
As for any errors on this coin - I see none (unless you include the person that decided to polish it). There are lots of circulation flattening and the devices are rounded - most likely due to the polishing it suffered.

Got it! But I never thought it was a proof. that's obvious from the Denver mint mark- I said "proof like " shine. Which makes perfect sense if thats from polishing! Thanks!!! :-)

Ah, ok I see what you are saying there. I must have misread the first entry, and followed all the other sheep into the pen.
