The coins are manufactured to have a very high quality mirror finish on the flat surfaces. There will be no dents, scratches or nicks on the coin.

It is extremely unlikely that you will get a Proof coin in your change since, at their time of sale, they are worth much more than the face value.

Proof coins are sold in some sort of packaging to protect the finish of the coin.

The packaging will have a reference to the coin(s) being "Proof".
