<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2515579, member: 46237&quot;]Here&#039;s another example from NGC similar to the OP&#039;s. Much like the OP&#039;s coin, all slabbed examples I have seen of this particular restrike are MS and not PF, and I don&#039;t have a clear answer as to why.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]535658[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is an Artex restrike. Not all Artex restrikes are proofs, although the <i>vast</i> majority are. This particular coin, however, had only two types of restrikes recorded in the Artex records, a proof and a matte proof. In fact, the distinguishing diagnostic of these restrikes versus the originals (since they are unmarked restrikes) was that in 1967 when these were struck, Hungary had the technological capability to strike proofs in aluminum, and in 1945 <i>they did not</i>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
