<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silver Striker, post: 347149, member: 1745&quot;]I collect casino silver strikes and while at a convention of the CC&amp;GTCC many years ago a representative from one of the minting companies told us that casino silver strikes are not minted as proof tokens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many people and collectors refer to these tokens as a PROOF token.&nbsp; Yes, many of the silver centers do have a mirror finish in the fields and frosted high reliefs.&nbsp; BUT, by just looking at a token is there a way to tell it is not a &quot;PROOF&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a note here can a PROFESSIONAL Grader tell the difference?&nbsp; And if a proof like token isn&#039;t manufactured as a Proof, wouldn&#039;t it be given an MS designation?</p><p><br /></p><p>I ask because of one of our SSSer&#039;s &quot;centsles&quot; grades them as a proof.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~sptokens/centspr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
