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.
