There is only one level of Proof. Coins are either Proof or they are not.

Proof coins are minted from specially prepared and polished blanks or planchets and are struck using specially prepared and polished dies. The coins are also hand finished to enhance the appearance.

Proof coins can be made from any metal, usually the same as general circulation coins, but they are frequently made from precious metals as well such as silver, gold or platinum.

Proof coins are often "frosted" or "matte" which is a deliberate process of finely blasting the surface to produce slightly dulled highlights in contrast to the mirror like finish of the surface of the coin.

They are always packaged so that you cannot put your grubby fingers on them and destroy the finish. Coins made from precious metals usually come with a "Certificate of Authenticity" from the mint verifying that the coins are what they claim to be.

Proof coins will realise a higher value if they are still in the original packaging, in mint condition and still have the "Certificate of Authenticity" with them.

What are Elisha S Loomis' proofs?

Loomis was an American teacher and is famous for publishing, in 1940, a book entitled "The Pythagorean Proposition" which contained 370 different proofs of Pythagoras's theorem. The proofs are not his but from mathematicians over the centuries. The book contains a proof by Euclid, by the Indian mathematician, Bhaskara, by ancient Chinese, as well as by more modern mathematicians such as Legendre, Leibniz, and Huygens and by a former president of the United States, James Garfield. There are also several proofs discovered by high school students.
