Given the images posted, looks impaired to me. The obverse appears to show that signature 'squared' rim. But having said that, the obverse seems to feature a slightly misaligned die. Curious.

Impaired proof sounds right.

Are you all sure it is a proof coin,the rims do not look squared off to me like a proof strike should. John1  |

since the high reflectivity of your photos makes it tough to distinguish between business strike and proof, I'd guess this is a business strike, which would also account for the observations others made

I examine the 1968 S coin again. I think you are right. It is a business strike with an offset strike on the obverse and not centered on the planchet. The fields are shiny but I looked at the other coin I had sent in (1972 S) and the rim is centered and the characters of the script have a outline too them. I stand corrected. Thank you all! Regards.

Those are proof surfaces. I think this coin was encased and worn as jewelry.
