Proof coins are struck at least twice to produce maximum definition of the devices. Their fields are mirrored with cameo contrast on the devices. Coins are graded from PO1 to MS70 and those coins receiving grades MS60-MS70 are considered uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to learn the basics of grading, you would benefit by purchasing the ANA Grading Standards of US Coins. It is available on the Whitman Books site.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
