If you found it in a bag of old coins, it is not a Matt Proof coin.
Proof coins are not issued for general circulation but for collectors. They have a very high quality finish and a Matt Proof coin will have contrasting dulled raised areas compared to the mirror like surface of the flat areas.
Proof coins are a lot more expensive to buy than their face value suggests.
Proof coins are issued in some form of packaging to protect the finish and subsequently maintain the value of the coin.
Very few of the 1937 Proof coins were minted and are possibly all in museums or the collections of very wealthy coin collectors.
