Does this satin proof look like it's just a grease filled die?

I think it is a weak strike.
Or a combination of a weak strike and some die fill.
Satin proof? That looks like a mint set (BU).
Probably grease.
I've owned it since 2005 and always thought grease filled die. Definitely a satin proof, and worst looking one I've ever seen!
Here's the reverse. Does weak strike effect both sides of a coin or can one side be weak while the other is typical?
The reverse looks much stronger so I would say that it is a grease filled obverse die.
Mint set coin, not a Proof. Nothing special.
2005 mint sets are a satin proof finish.
@gtstang It's not a proof! These were supposedly produced with a Satin Finish but that does not make them a proof. The proof Kennedys, clad and silver, were made in San Francisco and bear an S mintmark.
I guess I should not of used the word "proof". I do know it's not a proof coin but is the satin finish which is also typically a much nicer finish than typical uncirculated in prior uncirculated sets.
It is in no way a proof. They were satin unc for a few years in the first decade of the 2000s.
Why is the obverse so beat up?? Or is that the mylar? Sure looks like it has been tossed around in a bag of metal scraps... Cheers, RickO
