<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 2738948, member: 33176&quot;]Please someone correct me if wrong.&nbsp; Proof coins are non-circulating issues made for collectors.&nbsp; They use special dies, special presses that apply higher pressure in the strike and use blanks prepared to be proof coins.&nbsp; The coins can have different appearances:&nbsp; The entire coin can have a mirror finish, the fields can be mirrors while the devices can be frosted (cameo), it can be reversed with frosted fields and mirror devices, or it could be a matte proof where the surface has a texture, but all devices are struck well and stand out.&nbsp; If a proof of any of these kinds gets circulated, it becomes difficult to distinguish it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
