    Not sure much on Canadien, looks really close to UNC.

    No, it doesn't look even remotely like a proof. It's plain to see that this one is a standard business strike.

    A proof would have much more deeply mirrored fields with no irregularities like you see here, frosted devices, and it would be much more sharply struck, with a squared-off edge.

    If you're not used to seeing them, Canada uses a multi-ply nickel plating on their coins that gives a distinct reflective look. Compared to most US coins, it's understandable that you'd think it could be a proof, but as the others have said, it's a normal business strike.

    Yep, the business strikes are definitely shiny. But not reflective in the same way a proof would be.
