coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/10/2022 09:27 am The proof coins have more mirrored fields: The difference? Business strikes are only struck once. A proof strike is struck twice, making the devices stand out a lot more and the fields shine a lot more. Report this Post to the Staff
