<p>[QUOTE=&quot;De Orc, post: 309356, member: 4408&quot;]Me an expert LOL far from it, the strike on a proof is cleaner more crisp as it would have been struck at least twice with a clean new die, the run of the mill coins were struck once and continuosly until the die wore out or the run was compleat.&nbsp;&nbsp; The problem here is that you are trying to compare this coin with others and you cant do that.&nbsp; The coins of the Strait Settlements were produced in 3 different mints&nbsp; (Not all at once) and the 1882 20c was only produced at the Heaton mint (With the &#039;H&#039; below the neck)&nbsp; the only coin that you can compare it with is another 20c of the same date.&nbsp; </p><p>I see one of the coins pictured above is from 1888, that coin was produced some 6 years later at a different factory so can not be used for comparison.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
