Prove it aint!
As if the reverse wasn't a dead giveaway. Tee Hee!
I also have a 12-s and a 16-s that could pass as "proof-like" to an untrained eye.

Too bad we have those pesky "Official Mint Reports". No Grading Service is ever going to certify a 17 or 18 or blah blah blah
these coins are simply a credit to a well made die, a good planchet alloy mix, Brenners Hub not yet worn out and a good pressman who knew how to adjust his machine.
Enjoy them for what they are but dont brainwash yourself thinking you found the one and only Matte Proof made for a certain year. Even it if is so.....you'd be like Riley Martin, preaching hogwash that no one with a Functional brain believes. Those little lumps and bumps on the surface come from die wear....these business strike dies could make about 200 thousand coins...and thats what happens to them. An MPL surface is crisp teeney granuals...not lumps and bumps.
