Hello folks! I've been reading here for a few years now but this is my first time posting! I'm a little mystified - I got a couple of rolls of half dollars from the bank today. Checked the edges - everything was clad - oh well - but I noticed that six of them were extremely shiny. I took a look and they look like proofs, mirror like surfaces and so on (although a little banged up). They're marked 2022-P. I checked out CoinFacts and ebay and the mint web site trying to see if they were worth anything more than 50 cents, but I did not find any 2022-P proofs anywhere. Am I missing something? Do those exist? Maybe I'm wrong and they aren't proofs but boy do they look different than normal circulation strikes. I've tried a couple of pictures with my iPhone but they're probably not good enough to tell you much. Thanks for any thoughts you might have on these!   |

Not proof, sorry. Just a earlier die state, making them shiny.  |

 to the CCF! The P mint mark excludes this coin as a proof. Philly stopped producing proof coins in 1964. No proof coins were struck in '65, '66 or '67 and when proof production resumed in1968 they were struck in San Fransisco. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

I guess they must be just really early die states.
It's not like I've never seen uncirculated coins before, I've been collecting for a while now. I've got slabbed MS-68 and MS-70 half dollars and they aren't anywhere near as mirror like as these, I wish I could show you them in hand hah!
Thanks again
