<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2302964, member: 69760&quot;]Which finish do you like better on any given coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see arguments for both. If the fields have a mirror finish then the devices have a frosty finish which can make the details easier to see. </p><p><br /></p><p>In contrast, the reverse proof coins and their mirror finish devices seems to amplify the relief. I think that most or all of the reverse proof coins were made with a higher relief, too. </p><p><br /></p><p>The enhanced uncirculated coin is probably the hardest to execute. I believe it&#039;s the same as a business strike but with mirror finishes in select areas of the design. The ASE example below uses a mirror finish to accentuate perspective for the devices closer to the viewer (thus the sun does not have a mirror finish).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Business Strike :</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.collectiblestechnology.com/productimages/dlrc/413xxx/2ac50bfd-9295-466e-9b34-a670d9dc1dd3.jpg?width=1000&amp;height=1000&amp;mode=pad" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>_____________________________________</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Proof :</b></p><p><img src="http://images7.solidcommerce.com/sc705781/US-ASE-PR-2015a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>________________________________________________</p><p><b>Reverse Proof :</b></p><p><img src="http://barrygoldberg.net/photos/coins/2011RP_Obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>____________________________________________</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Enhanced Uncirculated :</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91J9Z1QA5nL._SL1500_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
