<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1698461, member: 15199&quot;]Proofs are not judged so only by the reflective surface , although such is expected on most proofs that do not have matte or mint produced special surfaces. Proofs have different edges/rims that are rt. angled and not chamfered ( rounded on point where rims and edge meet as are business strikes. They usually are better struck than the business strikes and are not thrown into containers with others, so there should be no marks from coin hitting coins. A reflective coin should be considered a well struck business strike until evidence proves otherwise. I say this as many newbies start putting up every shiny reflective coin thinking it is a proof. </p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to the Forum!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
