From what I understand if you brace the coin vertical and can see a #2 pencil reflecting off the surface of the coin then there's a chance the coin may be proof like.

There has only been 1 coin ever graded MSRDP for the 1988 Lincoln cent. That coin was graded MS 66 RDP and has a value of $35.00. Your coin is not RD its RB and it is not proof like. Your coin also grades in the MS 62 range. Its worth about $1.00. Cheers!

Not a PL, just an uncirculated cent.

It appears your coin has some plating colorization issues, as well as the start of some linear plating bubbles on the obverse, and surely is not proof like. PL on cents is a very difficult grade to get and favors coins of silver, nickel and some of the modern clad.
