Because it was found in circulation, it's not going to be as shiney as a proof coin is supposed to be

Note that on the proof the Rim is flat versus being round on the business strike.

Here is a proof cameo strike that I found CRH. It stood out like a sore thumb and I nearly fell out of my seat when I saw it. However, it is an impaired proof because it has been in circulation and commands no premium.

Still I was able to read print in the mirror finish from some distance away. Your coin is nice, but not a proof.

Keep looking.

Look at the bays on the proof coin. A sure sign it is/was a proof coin.. as well as the mint mark.
