Is this possibly a Proof ?

Looks like a "steely" to me. Cool coin.

The rim is quite sharp.

The rim almost looks to sharp.
Here's a PCGS Proof 66

I don't think so, although I could be wrong. These early dates often have nice rims.

The problem I see is a lack of beard detail. Early proof Lincolns usually have fantastic detail in Abe's beard.

Without a Rev pick it would be hard to tell for certain,but I doubt it based on your Obv pic.

It's not a proof.

It does not appear to be a Proof. In addition to the hair and beard detail not being sharp enough, see the "ST" in "TRUST", in particular. The letters should be crisper/sharper, as in the example Glenn posted.

The hair and beard detail definitely give it away. Not a PROOF . Nice MS though

JRocco

I concur, not a proof. Nice coin though.
