Is it really money if it never circulates 🤔?

It’s a “proof” meaning they were made for coin collectors. Back then, they would have been shipped directly from the Mint to the buyer in a velvet box

The reason it got a 64 is because of 2 dings on the reverse of the coin, most likely from it being dropped, but I highly doubt it was ever circulated since there are no hairlines visible by the naked eye

I am aware of this, I have handled my fair share of circulated proof coins. What I’m saying is hairlines are present in those examples as they get mishandled, wiped, touched, etc. There isn’t even a fingerprint on this coin. The only damage is two small dings on the reverse, giving it a PR64 designation
