It's polished. I don't care how long that friend of yours has been looking at coins, he's blind. It's polished.

Yeah, I would say it is polished. And even were it not, it has WAY too many hits to grade anything better than a 62. Full retail on a MS-62 is 45 bucks. Even if you went with ANACS and spent less money, it still is not worth it. It is not a key date or a rarity at all.
It will come back as a details coin polished and likely not get much better than low AU.
Oh, if a coin is polished well, there will be no abrasion marks. Thats the whole point of polishing a coin. To remove abrasions and smooth the surface out.

While I don't think it is a proof, as far as I have read, Bowers, et al, there is no documentation on the number of Proofs actually made. Has there been a recent discovery that proves the mintage, and if so, can we see the reference?

I agree with the polished crowd, not a proof at all. Send it in to a Top TPG if you doubt us here at CCF, let the expert graders and authenticators settle the question.

It is polished, it shows very well on the cheep area, and it can't be a high relief. The high relief coins came from a different hub that has some design differences from the regular coin. The coin in question does not have thos edesign differences so it can't be a high relief.
