So, if you&#039;re a collector, you have to buy two, one to play with and one to keep unopened.&nbsp; As for the mirrored proof vs. matte/satin finish, I buy both, but prefer the matte/satin.&nbsp; Try this test, put a mirrored proof along side a satin of the same coin and look at both from a reasonable distance to see if you don&#039;t see more detail in the satin.&nbsp; With the mirrored proof I see super shiny surfaces and heavily frosted white blobs of raised areas and have to look closer to see detail in the devices, however the satin’s detail jumps out at me.</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
