<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rbm86, post: 15854, member: 854&quot;]Matte proofs are proof coins that have a frosted finish throughout the whole coin, including the fields, whearas a &quot;brillant proof&quot; has a mirror-like finish in the fields, and the devices might or might not be frosted.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have the 94 Jefferson and 98 Kenndy Matte Proofs, so I base my description on those.&nbsp; Several matte proofs were coined in the early 20th century (Peace Dollars, Buffalo Nickels, and others) but I have never seen them in person.&nbsp; My understanding is they exhibit the &quot;frosted&quot; appearance througout the coin as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
