[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2301570, member: 66"]Matte proofs are never "shiny" Yes, but why would you? You can also drive a nail through them, bend them in half in a vise, hit them with a grinding wheel or any number of other methods of doing damage to them. Yes, the multiple strikes and higher pressure allows the edge to complete fill in the sharp square junction of the rim and the edge all the way around the coin. This doesn't normally happen on business strikes struck once and at lower pressures..[/QUOTE]
