British proof coins, for example, only began having a frosted finish in 1980, before that the design was as shiny as the field. Report this Post to the Staff

WheatieFan I read the article. It's confusing as the RCM usually is. The article is a few years old, and I doubt these coins were struck more than once. It(reverse proof die) is pobably just a nice way to present this design image on this bullion coin. The RCM does that a lot. So, maybe the new Charlton guide will re-define(as they've had to do to other terms in the past because of design changes) the "specimen/reverse proof" definition, which up to this point are used interchangably for Canadian coinage. But, interesting read...thanks Report this Post to the Staff

No exceptions. I know new car purchases are exempt from it. Yup, but you gotta love Cook County and their fair politics. Carl, did you hear about Chicago leasing it's parking meters for 75 years? In five months it's going to cost $6.50 to park on the streets. This is insane! They spend money like crazy and when they run out they come out with some crazy plan to milk the little guy and then go spend that on some more crazier stuff. Anyways, back on topic I think the definition that the original poster posted sounded to be more of the modern proof process. I agree with what others said that it's a coin that has been struck at least two times and special care was taken with it. Report this Post to the Staff
