A matte proof will stand alone on its edge very easily. Further, the inside and outside edges of the rim will be sharper and crisper. A matte proof will have its inside edge drop off more steeply and therefore the coin will exhibit less of an inside curved dish than a business strike. A matte proof may also have a slight fin on the far outside of the rim around the coin.&quot;</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
