Sweetie, I ain't no troll. I've been here over 11 years and over 4,000 posts - while I'm a sarcastic SOB with a twisted sense of humor - I've never been accused of being a troll. In fact, I'm one of the rare individuals who researches and sources responses.

No one like subliminal insults when someone is asking questions. Doesn't matter how many years you have in the passion, doesn't give you the credit to be mean by default in a sarcastic demeanor and expect laughs. The Business strikes from San Francisco confused me since they're included in a 10 piece mint set of P,D and S coins. so I asked about if a proof could get a haze looking glare because of packaging. Sorry if it doesn't seem like there much empathy and patience from some, and of course the curiosity to question things of interest by me. I do lack communication and so do some of you. Cheers and good hunting I guess

I think that this topic has run its course here.

I believe that you have a business strike dime, it is not a proof, even the example from PCGS you posted is a business strike dime and not a proof (MS67)

I would kindly ask you to curb the abuse of other members here, I have read what BStrauss3 had posted, and I see no offensive comments in it.

I believe the OP is confusing uncirculated sets with proof sets. In 1966, the encased the SMS sets in a hard plastic case for the first time. When proofs were made again in 1968, they continued using the hard plastic cases for proofs coins ever since. Uncirculated sets, however, continue to be done in seals soft plastic packaging (bags).

To the OP: For a proof coins to look like a business strike, it has to be very heavily tarnished because even impaired proofs (proofs found in circulation) still tend to retain some of the mirror-like finish they had when they were struck.
