<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3678847, member: 74863&quot;]Let me try again. Proof coins are graded on the same scale as business strikes and other coin issues. A proof coin is a method of minting the coin, nothing else. If it grades 67 the grade will be 67 PF for proof. Other coins grading the same would be MS-67 or Mint State. That is a&nbsp; gem coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of mine. It graded MS66 RD. Being a Cent it&#039;s RD for Red. This coin is a Mint State 67 out of 70 and it&#039;s red in color. Not brown or red brown.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]987794[/ATTACH] </p><p>This coin is a Very Fine 35 out of 70, not Mint state.[ATTACH=full]987793[/ATTACH]</p><p>These are not mine but photos are from the Internet. This is a proof but it&#039;s not Mint state.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]987805[/ATTACH]</p><p>These are silver Eagles but it shows the difference and the point I&#039;m trying to make. A proof coin can not be a Mint state coin. Again, a proof coin is just a method of manufacturing.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]987806[/ATTACH]</p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
