The US Mint has made proof coins many years before the Civil War. When a coin is slabbed it is noted on the label as part of the coins description. </p><p><br /></p><p>Non proof coins are just given a numeric grade, such as G-4, F-12 or MS-64 but a proof coin is not only given a numerical grade, it is also noted by the method of production. This is done as proof coins are not made for circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
