Really shiny 2011 dollar coin is in proof or mint state?
Most likely, if you found the (presidential or Sacajawea) coin in change, it is simply in mint state (or more likely about uncirculated). If your coin has an "S" mintmark, it is proof because I don't believe that the San Fransisco mint makes non-proof coinage. If your coin has a "P" or "D" mintmark it is not proof but simply just in mint state or about uncirculated. If you have a silver eagle dollar (the coin is much larger than a presidential dollar) dated 2011, it is uncirculated because at the time of writing, proof 2011 silver eagles have not been released yet.
