So a bit of a puzzle here. Found a 1999 D which looks proof like. Unfortunately it is not marked as a S for San Francisco and on top of that it is a Close AM. It's a bit of a enigma to me! Let me know your thoughts after you review the pics (Sorry for so many). As always regards to all.

Nice coin. The thing that surprises me is on that PCGS68, they didn't take in account the fingerprint and Machine Doubling.

Might have been polished or plated.

I think not polished, I do see a pattern from the minor flow of metal along the surface of the die.

I agree there is no blending and smoothing of any of the design elements that polishing to this high of a finish would cause

don't forget that all allcoinsaregood's coins look over reflective and digitally processed. so this coin is probably an early die state business strike

I have seen similar coins and attributed them to struck from newer dies which makes them look proof like. If I remember right, I had a give-a-way a few years ago when I found a bunch of higher-grade cents roll searching that looked like that.
