    Why would you think that is a proof?

    No. A modern proof coin has mirror-like fields and frosted relief. Your 1990 cent was struck for circulation (which is just a part of the Mint's 'business')

    first thing to look at is the overall look. If that passes then examine the rim for squared rims and not rounded. If that passes you probably have a proof.

    Yes I doubt, Coz It's more shinier brighter and very much clear and visible with no mint marks, so if in this case may be.

    If you were looking only at proof sets, the chance of finding a missing S proof cent would be incredibly small. If you are trying to find one in pocket change the chances are pretty much impossible.

    All new business strike cents are shiny and bright. Some might even be proof like.

    Someone needs to read about proof vs business strike or buy yourself an example proof set to have on hand. Not expensive. Peace Roy

    I own a 1990 no S proof cent in a PCGS holder.
    This coin is not a proof in my opinion.

    Not a proof. Normal business strike that has not seen that much business.

    As it shows in this picture, the modern Proof coins have a dramatic look to them. All of them are now Cameo Proofs, which makes their appearance dramatically different from the business strikes.

    The above responses list proof diagnostics, none of which appear on the coin in the OP.... Just a business strike cent. Cheers, RickO

    1. Your coin IS NOT a proof. It is a standard business strike
    2. What you see on the reverse is die deterioration doubling. This is not considered an error and adds no additional value to your coin.
    3. There may be a minor die crack coming from the left side of the Lincoln Memorial. Once again, this does not add any value

    Look for contrast between the fields and devices. The devices on proofs show a frost ( typically) while the fields tend to be mirrorlike.

    A bright Uncirculated example in mint state can easily confuse many. Don't be confused, but always ask questions.

    Calm down Mr. BUFFINATOR. All in all it's just another proof coin in the wall.

    @Mahaveer_singh People try to deceive all the time. The above proof set has been expertly opened and this business strike Philly cent was substituted for the 1990s cent in the set and then resealed. I keep it on my desk as a reminder to be careful and make sure it's what you think it is before you pull the trigger.

    bob :)
    PS: I got my set for free, didn't pay a cent for it after explaining to a customer what it was he just threw it across the room and left. I suspect, don't really know for sure, that he was the one that switched the coins. He thought he was going to fool me and make a killing (never saw him before or since).

    If you are expert enough to "know" your 1990 cent is a "proof," then why did you bother to post it and ask for help? (It's a circulation strike coin - worth 1-cent - nothing more.)

    Try listening to the people here - that are giving you honest information.
