I am sure it is the frosted design that is causing that, but it seems more prominent than I recall on many of my other sets. I noticed that too and I agree with Commems that I think its more of an optical illusion than anything from the mirrors of the proof and just the design layout of the faces for the uncirc. The design in general looks kind of flat to me. I dont have 2 of them to compare side by side but that would be my guess Report this Post to the Staff

skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 2:06 pm My local coin dealer said he ordered a dozen UNC and a dozen proof of these. He still hasn't been able to sell them. They aren't THAT bad, in my opinion. Definitely a good contrast between UNC and proof in that photo, Craig. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks for the picture Craig T. While I agree there is quite a difference in the appearance of the two coins, I maintain that they are both struck in the same relief. Any perceived differences in relief are a result of the contrast between the proof's frosted devices and mirror-like fields - the increased contrast makes the design "pop" more than it does on the uncirculated coin which has a satiny finish over all surfaces.
