Judging by the obverse and edge photos, this coin has a finned rim caused by a combination of high striking pressure and a slight die misalignment. The finning is most noticeable from about 11-4.

I usually find that proof coins have a wider edge than most circulation strikes. I will note one exception as I find some really wide edged, 1993 P and D circulation strikes.

In any case, it is normal on a proof to have a nicely defined and consistent edge and I can usually identify a proof coin in a roll by it's wider appearing edge. This is pretty normal in the overall scheme of things even though the weight you indicated is actually a little less than the 11.5 grams that it should weigh.

Thanks,
Bill
