I was wondering if anyone could offer me some diagnostics for determining if a 1886 Morgan Dollar is a proof. This coin is deeply toned, doesn't have tons of high details, but has extremely smooth surfaces. Nothing that I can see would suggest it has been cleaned.

It's not a proof. Sorry. Rims need to be squared not rounded, just for starters.....first thing I look at.

Perfect, that helps a lot...thanks!
Rims will be sharp at the edge, and has mirror like surfaces.
Would you even call this coin a high grade coin? @AUandAG
Looks like a nice AU pocket carried and commerce used dollar. Certainly a lot better condition than millions of others!

Thanks for the help! I am pretty good at identifying high grade clean coins, but when they have the toning on them, or look dirty like this one, I can never get it right.
Definitely not a proof, high AU to lower end MS.
Not a proof but a decent looking AU or low MS coin.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Agree with above, not a proof.... nice Morgan.. likely mid to high AU... Cheers, RickO
