<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 190486, member: 112&quot;]Seems to be a bit of confusion, either that or you are just not sure of the terminology. Proof is a method of manufacture, Proof coins have highly polished fields just like a mirror and frosted devices and legends. Coins from a Mint set look just like the coins you spend everyday. There are Proof sets, and there are Mint sets - both are uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, the coins you get in rolls, directly from the mint are also uncirculated. But they are just exactly like the coins you can get in rolls from the banks and the coins you spend - at least to look at them. But the coins you get in Mint sets are struck with higher pressures, are handled more carefully by the mint so that they have less marks on them, and then they are packaged and sold. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, as a general rule, and I say general because it is not always true, the coins in Mint sets will be in better condition and of a better quality than the coins you get the rolls from the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
