Probably a glamour shot of an impaired and it seems damaged (rim issues) proof. I doubt they'd be selling a polished coin as a proof.

The word polished appears 37 times in his last 200 negatives.

Wow! There was a surge in the final minute, all the way up to $107.50. Good luck to whoever won that auction!

Sold! For $107.50 plus s&h. It doesn't look like proof to me.

Looks like one of those "reprocessed" 1943 steel pennies.

No way this is a proof. Hard pass.

The sad thing is someone paid $107.00 for this? You should see my infamous change jar for coin shows. I through stuff like this in all the time. Just so I can show children (esp under age 13) old stuff tha t you pay face value for at most.

It's not a proof. It's just a well struck circulation strike that has the image amped up (manipulated) to show the brilliance.
This is why I dislike trying to judge and grade coins from pictures.
