Is this coin proof? [решено]

Recieved a new 2017 5 Euro Cent coin in my change in Spain; I'm kind of wondering if the coin could be a proof released into circulation or just very shiny? (The one on the left is for comparaison)

Have you heard of the "give the coin the finger" test of proofness?

Morning Cass,

Just a brand new one, I fear (2017).

A proof coin will never be between circulating coin, but in a set or box.

​Sometimes proof coins from sets get spent and enter circulation. I've found three US proof coins in circulation over the past few years: a 1999-S New Jersey quarter, a 1980-S Susan B Anthony dollar, and a 2007-S George Washington dollar.

Someone who buys a proof coin from 2017 will never bring it is circulation.....
(I wouldn't)

​Thank you, I was worried because I have already spent it!

​I thought that test was for silver coins?

​Over the last ten years, I have found over a dozen proof coins in circulation. It happens.

Relatives of collectors have no idea about proof coins and probably often spend the coins when found in the belongings of a collector who has passed.

Brand new coins are interesting to keep. In 20 or 30 years they will be difficult to find and the value will raise.
You just need a huge amount of space....
If I know of friends who are taking a vacation outside the eurozone, I always ask to bring some coins of the latest years. Normally it takes years before they get in Belgium.

If you can hold a coin by the edges and see your other finger six or more inches away than at the least your coin is prooflike.

​I ask to look in my friends' change all the time, for commemorative €2 coins.

And sometimes you don't need to wait so long; I recently picked up a Polish 10 Grozny, Swedish 1 Krona, and Russian 1 Rouble on a walk in a park in Madrid (the one near the Museo del Prado).

​Thanks very much!

That info is sure to be useful; I'll have to test it out on a dozen other coins I suspect of being proofs plucked from circulation.
