<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 15856, member: 112&quot;]Well I wouldn&#039;t quite say frosted - as that could confuse some into thinking it has the cameo effect which is what frosted is usually used to describe. But I do understand your meaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I fully agree about the difference from the mirror finish of the fields for a normal Proof coin. The fileds of a matte Proof I would describe as having a flat, but lusterous, finish instead of the polished mirror appearance.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fields of a regular Proof are highly reflective - like a mirror. The fields of a matte Proof are not. The surface of the fields for a regular Proof will appear totally smooth while the surface of the fields for a matte Proof will appear to be made up of thousands of very fine and closely spaced raised dots. It&#039;s not quite the same effect that appears on cameo devices - but it is something like that. It just doesn&#039;t appear to be bright white like a cameo does.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
