Welcome to the dream team.

The rims do not look sharp enough for a proof strike to me.

OP - Your coin appears to me to be in XF/AU condition. It is definitely not a proof.

The proof MS65+ makes my MS63 look to be miles apart, condition wise.
Eye candy.

Glad you like the proof! Here it is in its slab:

It wasn't cheap, but I really love it.

It doesn't look like a proof. If it was it would not have that much wear and it would have more mirrored fields.
