Trying to learn about proof coins and this seemed to look different than all the other 1990 I have come a crossed. It looks more glossy and shiny than all the others, and I read about a 1990 no S. So I figured I would see if I could get some more information about it. Any extra info will help. Thank you

Proofs have the "s" mintmark. If this was a 1990 NO S proof you would have quite the piece here. This is just a nice bu example of one.

Hi Lemons - over time, you will probably find an impaired proof (a proof released to circulation) or two. They are out there. As noted by our fellow enthusiasts, you have a nice 1990 Philly specimen there. MS specimens will fetch a pretty penny (actually, many-many pretty pennies) so keep an eye out for these prime examples.

Good luck finding error/variety coins!!

If it were a proof, it would look more like this one:
