I think not.

Fields look so smooth and the stars are so struck up.
Not!
I don't think it has the details to be a proof.
No. Rims are not square and lettering is not sharp, indicating that it wasn't struck at least twice.
Ok, I believe you guys. It just kind of looked like, maybe.
Eagle in reverse has missing feather layers so I would say not a proof

It's not even close.
Someone should pull one of Roger's books to fact check me. While modern proofs are multi-struck, I thought Roger said older coins were struck once but with much higher pressure using a medal press. I miss Roger.
Older proof can have flat looks but the no motto 60 should have contrast and none of the coins I have reviewed show missing feather details yet appear with details in flag cap and dress details even atEF40 so my conclusion is either fake or not proof. Dentils should be large rims and contrast it may even be fake but I only looked at about 30 pics. The proof qty survival is around 580

I would say it is not a proof....based on the rims and lack of intricate detail (not caused by wear)....Cheers, RickO
I don’t think so
