I think I may have found a proof, but I don't know it's way beyond what I'm used to seeing in terms of mirror reflection. It's a light orange color. I've found other proof coins in circulation before and this coin is just so shiny. Anyways I looked the pillar and what's wrong? It looks like it's broken. I don't think this is PMD it's like a perfect wedge that doesn't extend past the pillar like it was minted this way. What do you guys think? Also do you think it's a proof coin?
