There is a difference between a coin which gets struck for business use (business strike, what you get back in change) and a proof coin, which is made only for collecting really. The proof strike process is completely different from the preparation of the dies all the way to the planchet used for the coin. So there are typically markers, or pick up points that you can search for to help you determine for sure that your coin is not a proof.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a dime expert, so I don&#039;t know these markers, but I&#039;m sure the information is out here somewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
