<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinquest1961, post: 2006125, member: 1375&quot;]Even a worm Satin proof would show extraordinary detail above the braid-over 90% were fully struck-a feature rarely seen (with the exception of the 1921) on any business strike. But even so it would be impossible to tell that status on a coin this worn. As rzage said-the key to recognizing a matte or satin proof is by the rims and edges. However, it&#039;s a popular misconception that proofs are struck more than once-they were struck only once (in most cases) by a hydraulic press, which imparts much higher striking pressure than does a press that strikes coins for circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
