What about that shine it has? Maybe the OP polished it? Are there any proofs die caps?

I suspect this isn't a proof coin. Not seeing a 'classic' Ridge Ring. |

Cool looking effect on this die cap strike! Don't know for sure, but a proof strike through die cap seems unlikely
because much extra attention is given to proof coins that would avoid that.

The toning on the obverse is pretty cool.
I agree that it's unlikely a proof could escape detection, but different eras and mint locations might have had packers who were a bit on the hazy side.

That mint worker was probably ready to head to Woodstock!

Here are two 1970's die cap strikes, the colors looks like completely different handling situations. Maybe as I said the OP polished the shiny one? But something just bugs me telling me it might be a proof.  |

Here is a better comparison of what I think would be proof vs regular strike but you guys are the pros!  |
