Saw this auction on eBay and it looks like a proof to me, but he is selling it as uncric.

Linky

What do you think?

    What looks proof on it to you?

    I see a coin with wear, not an UNC. Not a proof.

    Darkish spots in the fields look like bad photography to me. If it is a proof, it is highly abused!

    To me it looked like a proof because of the frosty devices and it looks like the fields are "clouded" and could be mirrored under the wear/junk. There is a cleaner spot toward the bottom on the reverse and that area looks mirrored. I'm not bidding or buying either way, just curious.

    Interesting, but no Mexican Proof coins supposedly exist before 1982 (according to Krause).

    It looks like it is artificially frosted.
