It might just be polished and not a proof, that is common with ones in acrylic. They resemble proof coins if buffed with a drill with a buffing pad because buffing gives a mirror like finish, but greatly reduces the value. I wouldn’t expect an actual Morgan dollar proof because they are too valuable to risk ruining the collector value by turning them into paperweights. I could be wrong, but I’d bet money I’m right
Could you post a picture. I might be willing to purchase it. I'm sure if you want to sell this Morgan, you can find a buyer oin this site. Looking forward to seeing your Morgan $.

Start a thread on the US Coin Forum...post a decent image or two...prepare to be educated and likely disappointed.

The chances of the coin being a Proof are extremely close to 0%.
