Best Answer

A "Proof" or "Proof - Fleur Du Coin" coin is one that is struck on specially prepared and highly polished dies. After the coin is struck, it is hand polished to give a mirror like finish. Most modern "Proof" coins have the highlights frosted to give a good contrast. "Proof" coins are made from the same metal as general circulation coins, but are often also made from silver or gold. "Proof" coins are worth a good deal more than their face value and are intended as a souvenir or investment.
