Hi, I ask your opinion on this One cent from 1951, with mirror background and with a beautiful gold color. Best regards   |

Pics are too dark to evaluate surface details. Doubt this is a proof.

Looks like a coin that has been polished with a polishing compound of some sort. Not a proof.

The photo shows the luster of the coin and the color is not the classic light or dark brown.  |

it looks more like a polished business strike than a proof to me. Notice how it is dull in between the letters of liberty and the date, and right at the perimeter of the bust.
