I got this Benji Half at a pawnshop for 8 dollars, but it wasn't marked as a proof, so I got it for 8 dollars... Is it a proof? and If it is, would this go for higher than I paid?

So, according to the web, if it's true that it's a proof, is it indeed worth 200$?

Not worth $200, no. But it is a proof. I'd estimate a $15 value for this one.

Looks to be a proof but that toning is ugly. I'd say just under40$. I don't sell halves though, I just hoard them.
