No way I can tell it's a proof.
But I definitely know it's NOT an RB.
It's a straight BR.

If the seller can't get that right then I wouldn't have any confidence in his statement that it's a proof.

The rims are not sharp enough to be a proof strike.

Nice detail but the surfaces seem too rough to me.

Strong Business Strike but I can't make myself believe it's a Proof.

Not a proof. It's a business strike that has been cleaned and retoned.

I would say not very much.
It's been cleaned and badly discolored. And not a proof
