And yes, all struck coins have luster, including Proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best &amp; easiest way for you to learn to tell a PL from a PR is actually look at them side by side, in person. Once you do that you&#039;ll never have a problem telling one from the other again. Go to a coin show and you&#039;ll be able to see it for yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, you can identify a Proof Frankie the same way you identify any Proof of the period. The coin will have mirror surfaces, you can actually see your reflection in them. It will also have a rim with sharp, squared off edges, whereas a business strike or a PL coin will have a rim with rounded over &amp; smooth edges. Those two things are the easiest to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>A PL coin may have semi-reflective surfaces, but the image you see on the coin will be no where near what you see in a mirror, while with a Proof it will be very close to that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
