Unless there&#039;s a formal definition I&#039;m not aware of what is most readily identifiable as a proof coin is having mirrored devices. All ancient coin-making civs had the capability of polishing to a mirror finish. It&#039;s a pain to do this manually but not inconceivable that at one point they might have for presentation pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rasiel[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
