<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 203313, member: 1824&quot;]I don&#039;t think that any of the Proof coins will be issued without the inscription on the edge,as the process for striking a Proof coin is quite different to striking a circulation coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a start,the dies are polished so that it shines like a mirror,possibly using a sand-blasting type process.The coins are struck twice or 3 times to make the relief come up.Then they are checked.Any inperfections will result in the coin being melted down &amp; restruck until it is struck to the proper standard befitting a Proof coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
