That is a normal business strike(circulating coinage) minted at Philadelphia, not a proof. Modern proofs are easily distinguishable from business strikes with the most obvious differences being polished fields and frosted devices, giving them a cameo appearance.

Not a proof but a very nice condition business strike. Keep it in a 2x2.
