I have a 1964 D Lincoln Penny I think maybe a proof coin. I'm not sure. The grade is very high in my opinion. What do you all think?
I will post a picture as soon as I figure out how. Sorry everyone

How do I attach photos to my discussion topic?
A 1964 proof cent wouldn't have a mintmark. May be a high grade coin or could be polished.

You do not have a proof 1964-D cent, I do not have to see a photo to say that with 100% confidence.

I will also say you absolutely do not have a 1964-D proof.
Even without seeing it.
None were made.
If it is a 1964-D it will be little more than face value regardless of the grade. It is an extremely common date that was saved in huge quantities during the final stages of the late 1950s-early 1960s coin collecting boom. That particular boom came to a crashing end in May of 1964 but by that time many, many 1964-D cents had already been hoarded by collectors/speculators.
@Meandyou4ever0 .... Welcome aboard... As mentioned above, the cent is not a proof.... No D cents were proofs. Cheers, RickO
Welcome aboard.
As others have said, it cannot be a proof cent.
However, it could be proof-like. If so, it could be more valuable than a 1964 proof cent.
"Proof-like" would require mirror-like reflectivity in the fields. "Proof" is not a declaration of the degree of preservation but a type of strike. A perfectly struck, perfectly preserved "business strike" coin with not a single mark on it is still not a "proof".
This very well could be a discovery coin. Let's keep our options open until @Mfeld shows up.
They did mint 1964-D peace dollars, didn't they?
I know you're being funny but let's not give too much false hope.
This new poster might very well think that proof is a grading term which we all know it's not.
I gotta say this isn't the first time I've seen this mistake being made..

Not in proof, they didn't.
