Could this be a proof?

A " no S" proof? I know it's a longshot and pretty filthy but I though I may learn a little about the no "S" from y'all. I love the Lincoln series.

    Does it matter?

    Of course it matters. A no-S proof is worth over $1000. That said, it does not look like a proof but let's be more encouraging to new people that are trying to learn.

    To the OP, always hold coins by the edges. If you want to photograph it, lay it down on a flat surface.

    Unfortunately it's a regular strike.

    It is somewhat Proof Like but this is common on 1990 cents.

    Rims do tell the story here. They must be sharp inside and out.

    Thank you all. I thus far have collected all business strike D&P modern Lincoln's from 1960 to 2000. Plus some 40 or so wheat cents. 1911 D is the oldest and ugliest. It has been a successful alternative to lottery tickets honestly.

    Searching pocket change - or even roll searching - is a great and enjoyable way to build a collection ...many of us started that way.... And frankly, I still search my change. Cheers, RickO
