<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 838693, member: 19250&quot;]I agree 100% as a kid collector of the 60&#039;s this was the definition of a proof struck coin... at that time there was or were no Proof Like coins. To me the term Proof Like is just that a coin struck that has proof like surfaces but not proof.... IE&nbsp; a new pair of dies and first strike coins were the dies are sharp and produce a spotless coin. I was also told in those days that Proof coins were never touched by human hands after the coin was struck! Meaning bare skin where oils could transfer to the proof coin. I also recall that proof coins came in proof sets...meaning that in those days set were not broken up...yes some were but most were kept in the set as packed by the US Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
