There are four types.
1. Normal 'Currency' type - value £3 - £5 (don't pay any more)
2. Matt proof - value £3,500
3. Frosted proof - value £600
4. Normal proof - value £35
The normal 'currency' type will look like any coin in your change with no mirror fields and a normal plain surface. The 'normal proof' will have mirror fields which reflect like a mirror. The Matt proof will have a dull, Matt appearance and be well struck up with superb detail. The frosted proof will show the image as a 'frosted' appearance against the background....it will make the queen look almost three-dimensional in appearance and be beautifully sttruck up. The frosted proof is extremely rare.

What is a satin finish Churchill Crown and how does one find out?
The surfaces of the coin will have a slightly matt finish. ie. it is not shiny like you would expect on regular coins. Also, at the time of issue, the coin would have been sold in some form of protective packaging to protect the finish. The packaging should have some reference to the metallic content of the coin and the fact that has a satin finish. There were very few of them minted.
