<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prestoninanus, post: 698662, member: 20205&quot;]&#039;Proof&#039; isn&#039;t a state of condition, its a method of striking designed to bring out the design as clearly as possible in order to appeal to collectors. Usually, their condition is FDC (Fleur de Coin) but sometimes they get handled and their condition can be Extremely Fine or below, especially if its an older proof. </p><p>&nbsp;This coin looks like it was minted using a business strike for circulation, rather than to appeal to a collector, and it looks like it was used for a number of years for its intended purpose before being taken out of circulation and hoarded or hidden before becoming a collector&#039;s piece....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
