Proofs are struck from <i>different dies</i> than business strikes. There are clear distinctions between the die types that allow graders to identify whether a coin is a proof or business strike. It has nothing to do with the condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, proofs are <i>generally</i> found in uncirculated condition because they are treated as numismatic pieces rather than coins meant to be spent. However, sometimes they enter circulation just like any other coin. That explains why you can have circulated examples of proof coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
