[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2607350, member: 19165"]There are many more types of proofs than just the few you've listed. In 1968, all proofs were Brilliant. The first several strikes of a proof die produced a frosted "cameo" effect, and when that wore off the entire coin had a brilliant appearance. Prooflike coins are business strike coins that had the mirrors of a proof coin, but were produced differently (they are not proof coins). Matte proofs were not made in 1968. All proofs from 1968 should have mirrored surfaces, sharp crisp devices, and sharp, square rims. Your coin exhibits none of these. Compare your coin to the pictures we have posted in this thread. You seem to think this is some conspiracy against you (the details of which I still don't understand - do you think PCGS altered your coin for some reason?). However, I think it is far more likely that you just did not have what you thought you had.[/QUOTE]
