Question on a Morgan ANSWERED

I received this coin in the mail today. Its got good mirrors and a decent cameo. What's interesting is that it has a partial wire rim.
Could that means its a proof?
I dont want to make myself look foolish here. I did alot of research and many of the 1885 proofs do not all have flat and wire rims.
What do you think?

    The coin doesn’t even hint at being a Proof.
    Look at some pictures of Proofs and note the lack of details on various areas of your coin compared to them.

    Thanks Mark. I wasn't sure just because of that area of wire on the rim.
    Now I know.
    Thank you.
    Its probably dmpl or at a minimum pl. It does have good mirrors.
