<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1634117, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;ve actually found 2 proof coins in circulation (both Kennedy halves).&nbsp; Other than the fact they were minted in San Francisco, which was a dead giveaway they were proofs (1971-S and 1989-S Kennedys were only minted in proof), they still had sharp rims and sharp details that stood out even after the mirror finish was dulled from fingerprints and light wear.&nbsp; Circulated proofs still can be diagnosed as proofs, even with wear.&nbsp; And although it&#039;s already been said, &quot;proof&quot; is a method of manufacture, not a condition; a proof will always be a proof (proofs with wear are often called impaired proofs, and were they to be graded would grade PF-58 or lower).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
