Lincoln cent guys--this anything unusual?

Got this in change today. It's really proof-like, with deep mirrors. I didn't capture the mirrors well, but you can kind of get an idea from the reverse shot with the zinc cent next to it.
Doesn't seem to be polished--but maybe it's just been polished so heavily I can't tell. Could also be shellac, but doesn't seem to be.
Just a garden variety polish job by a bored kid, or are there '67 PL cents out there?

We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

Could be polished. The mirrors don't seem to extend to the protected areas between the digits of the date and between the letters of "liberty".
My Adolph A. Weinman signature
areas. i have no idea what it went through but i do not see anything
special about it.
is not likely to have such a misalignment.
There are lots of PL's in circulation. I've paid less attention to them than they
deserve but they can be found in all denominations and many dates. I saw a
highly PL '87-P quarter just the other day. It had significant wear and lots of
damage though.
A lot of the early clad quarters used to have very PL reverses but these are so
worn now they can't be decerned.
