Best Answer

The 1970 proof penny, as with all modern proof coins, was struck in the same manner as regular business coins ( those intended for circulation ) except the dies used for proof coins are highly polished to produce the mirror like surface on the coin. Also, the proof coin is struck multiple times to bring out the finest detail of the coins' design whereas business coins are struck only once.
