If the gold proof coin is relatively new, from after about 1996 or 1998 then chances are you will have a mirror like field on the coin with nice frosty devices - the profile image on the obverse and the written details and dates. These modern proofs are nearly always cameo or deep cameo, Idon't even know why they bother to note it on the modern proofs. </p><p> </p><p>In earlier years, many of the proof coins are mirror like throughout the coin, the fields and the devices are mirrorlike.
