<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 5808340, member: 33176"][USER=25270]@Hiddendragon[/USER] Proof is a method of manufacture, not a grade. Proof coins are characterized by having a strong strike with sharp details and a mirror background that can reflect images at varying distances. There were proof quarters struck in 1982 for the quarters. Google "1982 Canada quarter ngc". Telling the difference is problematic. One of the surest indicators (I think) is the presence of a "squared off" edge as opposed to a chamfered edge (the chamfered edge done to facilitate stacking).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
