<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2516126, member: 1892"]The test I use is the distance the surface - and <i>all</i> of the fields on both faces have to do this to meet the requirement - will clearly and readably reflect 12pt newspaper type. I want a minimum of 4" of reflectivity for PL, and better than 6" for DMPL. It's a measurable physical feature on a coin. Tough to photograph, but <b>easy</b> to test for in-hand. The average Proof - from those issues which have that mirrored surface, some don't - should meet the "DMPL" standard pretty easily.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, this is a Business Strike only designation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
