[QUOTE="Jeepfreak81, post: 24903692, member: 93888"]Hey all, so I'm a bit confused on this and in trying to find information it's become even more unclear to me. LOL I have some bullion coins, I like to get a few every year. There are a 2 I try to get each year and then I just grab whatever else tickles my fancy. The 2 I always try to get are - Silver Britannia and Canadian Maple Leaf. In addition I've gotten an Australian Kookaburra and a few others. My question is concerning how they are struck. Are they proof struck? I know with ASE's the mint actually sells a Proof and Non-Proof version. So that's clear enough, however with these others I see no designation and the coins I have sure do look like proofs with mirror surfaces. This is mostly just a curiosity thing mostly, I'm not trying to send these off for grading or anything, and I don't really stack them either. I'm somewhere in the middle, just collecting them cause I like them and they will always be worth at least melt value. So bottom line is, if I want to "grade" these myself for reference do I call them MS or PF? Or maybe I'm completely off base on this whole thing.[/QUOTE]
