<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbadexample, post: 6225883, member: 100740&quot;]Thanks. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Given that, then to me it&#039;s still all about marketing. The first paragraph describes modern coins made for collectors. Those are <i>all</i> about marketing. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second paragraph describes older coins that weren&#039;t specially minted, but are particularly appealing due to quality of strike, freedom from blemishes etc. That doesn&#039;t make them proof-like in my eyes, it makes them a nice early strike. The &quot;proof-like&quot; tag is just spin. I would allow that currency coins struck from dies previously used for proofs could be described as such but it seems to be much more widely applied. </p><p><br /></p><p>You might have guessed it&#039;s not a term I&#039;m a big fan of. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
