Need help with this coin

[hughmaster10]

It’s a 1971 D Kennedy half. But the strike is a proof strike. It is kinda beat up. Which is why it’s kinda hard to tell on camera. But in person it is obvious.
Does anyone know any more info? From my understanding, they didn’t make proof strikes of P and D coins, right?
Any comments or knowledge would be appreciated

Nobody knows?

Not a proof. It is just a well struck coin, may have been struck with fairly new dies.

The Denver Mint has had a history of striking coins that appear to be Proof like.

Could the coin have been 'dipped'?

Definitely not dipped. It still looks like a worn proof strike. I could be wrong. I’ve seen a lot of 71s but not like this.

And when I say “worn” I mean light scratches on most of the coin

Definitely not a proof.
