Can't be a proof; it's from Denver!
BTW, has the Denver Mint, to anybody's knowledge, ever struck a Proof? Patterns, presentation pieces, etc?

As others have stated, it is impossible for it to be a proof

Denver made proof strikes of the 1984 Olympics $10 gold piece. West Point and San Francisco proofs were also made. I bought one of the Denver coins, just because it was the only official Denver proof that had been produced. I remember seeing a 1906-D Barber dime offered at auction as a "proof" presentation piece. Apparently Denver produced a few special coins when the mint opened in 1906. I don't know whether those would qualify as genuine proof strikings.

Then again there may just have been a person at the Mint with a CENTS of humor and stamped a D on some of the proofs just to see what would pop up on this forum.  Or someone could have carefully cut the D off a Denver coin and glued it on to a proof.  Or a Denver coin could have been sent to the Philly Mint to have it remade into a proof. The D is actually a dropped letter from the word Liberty. Oopps. Yeah, your right, no D in Liberty. It's a dropped letter fomr the word TRUST.
