It's kinda hard to tell for sure but it looks like it could be. Seems like your good luck with Ben's is continuing Ben. Nice find!
 
I agree, can't say for sure but looks like you might have got one. Congrats either way!
HH!

I think so. I got one not to long ago. The mirror finish is the only distinguishing characteristic.

Here is my proof Ben in the lower right corner.

Congrats on some nice finds.
 
So the proof Benjamin's don't have the brushed feature? Or silhouette? I don't think it's played because the edge is right and not shiny.
 
Is it a proof or just broken out of a Mint set sometime in the past?
 
I think your right and it is from a mint set... Cool
 
Your best bet is too hold it next to a proof ben and a MS ben. I have found two proof FDR dimes (1957 & 1963). The comparison is very helpful
If you dont have any, go to a local coin shop.
