I just won this auction, so pics are the seller's. It really looks like a proof to me, albeit not a very nice one. Opinions appreciated.

The rims in the photo do not look like those of a proof strike.

I guess I was thrown off by the strike - it seems really strong.

This is what a 1950 Proof Half looks like, excuse the blurry photo, this was taken a few months ago.

Do the pictures get blurrier as time goes by, Grape?
