When you examine both coins in hand you observe that the fields on both coins are highly reflective and mirror like, but, when you reflect something off the surfaces of the two you begin to see a difference in the reflective nature between the two coins. The reflection off of the proof gives back a clear and concise image of an object. There is absolutely no distortion. Not so with the enhanced coin. That reflection comes back a little hazy and less defined. I used my finger to reflect off of both coins and with the proof coin I could see the details of my fingerprints and on the enhanced coin they were barely discernible. So in conclusion, I don't think the enhanced version is a proof coin at all. Proof like, maybe, but there is definitely a difference in the way both coins are manufactured. Hopefully someday the mint will divulge how they produce the enhanced version. I sure as heck would like to know. </span></font></span><span style="font-size: 14px"><font face="helvetica"><span style="color: #282828"><img src="http://www.coinshowforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></span></font></span><span style="font-size: 14px"><font face="helvetica"><span style="color: #282828"> Remember, 'proof' is not a grade, it's a method of manufacture and the enhanced coin isn't cutting the mustard (so to speak) in this regard.
