1967 UK Half Penny proof ?

I have these two half pennies that look like proofs, but i'm unsure as they are not reported to exist.
let me know what you think, I have taken scan to include an uncirculated half penny.

I have a 50 euro cent coin that looks very much like a proof, but it's hard to guess if it's only unc or proof.

My 36th edition Krause states that the UK KM#896 1967 Proof is "Reported, not confirmed" and I am no grading professional but, IMHO, I don't see anything in the two top coins, other than their colouring, to differentiate them from the UNC below.

All uncirculated 1967 halfpennies were matte.

I think someone cleaned the coins to make them proof-like, but they're certainly not proofs.

what is matte???

  Maybe also something to add to Numisdoc - a definition of coin terms.

One way to check is to look at the strike. As proof coins are struck at least twice. It should give a light doubling effect. All the design should be sharp and prominent. The subject should be in contrast to the background. The fields should be blazing mirrored surface and the bust, lettering, ship and sea should be in cameo. Almost matt looking.
Some very very early strikes sometimes appear prooflike. But true proofs will have that two tone contrast. Someone is apparently offering one for sale advertised as a 1967 proof but it clearly is not lol.

Proofs of this coin are 'reported, not confirmed'.
That means that the proof are very rare.
The 'matte' like these are very common in UNC quality

The cameo effect you mentioned is not true of proof QEII UK coins until the 1980's.

Any luck on this Tony.  You know me if a penny or 1/2  and UK i want to know
