anyone have any opinions on which this is and why? is proof or not? all the research ive found leads me to believe this is a proof strike mostly due to lack of chamfor'd edges. anything else i miss?

    I could be wrong but I'd say proof-like

    you could be right too. research leads me in both directions.

    Rounded rims. And don’t wear cotton or nylon gloves while handling coins, unless you want to add more hairlines.

    Business strike with messed with surfaces (hairlined).

    Die cracks and rim not consistent with proofs. Sharp strike, but not quite as sharp as proofs.

    The combination of die cracks and the appearance of the surfaces in the second image of each side, leads me to think it's a very sharp business strike.

    The coin does not look like a proof. IMO.

    Business strike. The edges of the coin are not square.

    First glance I thought proof... but further looking at it and seeing what others have mentioned also, I'd have to say business strike. But a really nice strike.
