Squared off rims sure kook like it is indeed a proof.
Sort of a "soft" obverse strike. Reverse is beautiful.

Well here it is before I did some conservation on it...it is indeed a proof...was quest color details before...had some odd toning patches which I've dealt with...the luster is stronger than any of the other 3 proofs I own now as well. Hopefully this time around it straight grades.

If you look at the first set of pics you can easily see the die markers...die scratch off left side of bust towards the R of liberty, and the die scratches from the tip of the nose being the main diagnostics on die pair 1 of the 09 proofs.
