What makes you think this is a proof? There were also 1969S business strikes.

All opinions expressed are not necessarily shared by willbrooks or his affiliates. Taking them may result in serious side effects. Results may vary. Offer not valid in New Jersey.

in hand it is obvious the die was polished, the rest has a light cameo, and the edges are sharp except for circulation dings and are also highly polished

That's very obviously a proof.
