            Can't tell from your pic.

            The normal 90-P is worthless, billions made.

            The rare one needs to be a proof.
            Where did you get that coin? Do you think it is a proof?

            From a pic, I can't say but it looks like the bust does not look frosted but pics are tricky.

            The pic can't tell me but the main question i have is where you got it?
            Is it a shiny bus strike or a proof?

            Remember, proof is not a grade. It is a method of manufacture so it either is a proof or not a proof.
            If you tell me you got it out of a proof set, I'll tell you that you scored big. If not, I'm skeptical and wonder if it might be a shiny bus strike.

            Added, looking at your reverse pics I'm still unsure, in a way it looks like the building might be frosted.
            You can tell easy in hand.

            I'm hoping you got it as a proof or from a proof-set.

            I'm dying to know where it came from.

              I agree. The image is too blurry to really see well when enlarged.
              Fingers are crossed for your find.

                Think this is a duplicate post.

                  Better image of the reverse. With the debris around the devices it is looking like it came from circulation. Doesn't rule out Proof but will require a lot more scrutiny.

                    Can a moderator combine these posts into one. Seems to be 4 or 5 relating to the same item. Coming from a roll it is more than likely a business strike. There appears to be circulation wear on the high points of Lincolns bust, not frosted as a proof would be.
                    Would be great if it is a proof though!

                          Even in these pictures I can tell that the rims are not squared and sharp as they aught to be on a proof.
