<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbensteele, post: 1571860, member: 41740&quot;]Ok, so I think the subject kind of says it all but I will explain. First off I know Newer Proof Coins are usually mirror finish with the main object fogged. Well I have a 1997 which is mirror finish but lincoln isnt fogged, its thick and and has a nice wide edge and well struck, I also have several other coins that are barely mirror finished but have been lightly worn by circulation and tarnish, but for their age are extremely shiny. So as I stated, what main characteristics need to be watched for, especially in older coins, 90&#039;s and earlier?</p><p>Also most pennies are typically dull, so I usually grab any older ones that show high shine, is that a good first step?</p><p>With that being said, consider the same question but pertaining to uncirculated coins, but those that have been placed in circulation, and yes I know they technically woudlnt be uncirc.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are the main differences as well as similarities. What mints created Proofs before San Fran took over making them?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
