What is the difference between a 1916 Halfpenny Proof and a normal 1916 Halfpenny?

A normal coin is what is released into circulation.
A Proof coin is one that has been struck on specially prepared and polished dies and hand polished to give a mirror like finish.
Proof coins can be minted in the same metals as normal coins, but quite often, they are minted in precious metals.
Proof coins are not intended for circulation, but for investors and serious collectors and they are usually packaged for protection and sold in their year of minting for a price much greater than the face value of the coin.
