    Looks like business Strike to me, unless it's an impaired circulated proof. Not an expert though I have handled hundreds.

    It looks like a business strike to me.

    It's a business strike, no question about it.

    Also, there is no "S" mintmark, which the
    proofs have, unless you were hoping yours
    was the next Proof Bicentennial Ike without
    the "S" Mintmark.......which it's not.....sorry...

    A proof even in that condition would still have square rims and reflective (and basined surfaces) in protected areas.
