Is a 1943 Australian penny that is quite shiny compared to a 1963 penny a proof penny?

Coins can be shiny without them being Proof.
A Proof coin is struck on specially prepared and polished dies. The finished coin will have a mirror like finish on the flat surfaces.
Proof coins are sold in protective packaging to protect the finish.
If the coin has maintained its finish, there will still be the high quality finish with no dents, scratches of other damage to mar the coin.
A proof coin that has been handled or circulated has lost its Proof finish and any collector appeal and value it may have had.
