Hey Adam, your coin should weight 12.4 grams...have a Reeded edge and it's reported mintage for a proof is only 600 minted so the survival rate is around 380 to 420 maybe, considered rarer for proof method of manufacture so let's check some things on it first!!!

Type 5 with motto?

30 millimeter diameter?

Sticks to a magnet?

Coin has been whizzed?

Coin has been cleaned?

Correct weight?

Evidence of Mint mark removed?

Rims Sharp or Squared?

For business strikes, mintage is over 400,000....6 or 7 die marriages and a repunched date...WB-102...

Try an answer the questions above and then we can go to the next step. 

More than likely someone will chime in with instructions but if you'd like to learn some stuff about the date and coin this could be really fun and interesting!! This year coin is very interesting to me and I hope you enjoy learning more!!!
