A "frosted" Proof coin is one where parts of the pattern, usually the raised areas, have been deliberately dulled by etching or sand blasting the corresponding surfaces on the die.
The finished coin then has a striking contrast of the frosted portion against the mirror like finish on the rest of the coin surface.

How do you know if a coin is frosted proof or mirror proof?
A frosted proof coins were issued by the US Mint prior to 1936. In appearance they have a mirrorlike field [[the field of a coin is the flat areas not covered by the design]]with the design of the coin appearing to be frosted or dull in comparison to the field. This type of proof was again used on proof coins in the late 1970s and are refered to as "cameo" proofs. A mirror proof [[also called a Brilliant Proof]] has a mirrorlike surface over the entire coin. This type of proof was issued by the Mint from 1936 until sometime in the late 1970s.
