<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 2663446, member: 33176&quot;]The only proof coin I ever encountered &quot;in the wild&quot; was an Eisenhower dollar that gleamed up at me from the ones I got at the bank.&nbsp; They have a very reflective field and very strong details, but the surest way I know of is to examine the coin edge on.&nbsp; A proof edge will form a 90 degree angle (square corner) with the coin, whereas a business strike viewed edge on will show a flat area and a sloped area leading up to the field of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Daves-Collectible-Coins/Coin-Terms-Glossary.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stores.ebay.com/Daves-Collectible-Coins/Coin-Terms-Glossary.html" rel="nofollow">http://stores.ebay.com/Daves-Collectible-Coins/Coin-Terms-Glossary.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
