<p>[QUOTE="Coinsandmedals, post: 4175835, member: 107435"]This is a good point and a very common misconception. An essai does not always mean the coin was struck using techniques associated with proof strikes (i.e., special handling, prepared planchets, multiple strikes, special dies, etc.). Put simply, an essai is just a trial or a pattern intended to be put forth for approval. These coins can be struck in a manner of ways that can lead a host of designations (e.g., MS, SP, PF/PR). Put simply, just because a coin is an essai does not mean it is a proof coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
