But briefly, the proof coin will have a bright mirror-like finish in the fields, while the mattes do not. The following two Numista pages show the differences between proof and matte for the 10 Dollar coin. Also, it seems that the mattes were used in the Uncirculated Specimen Sets, not the Proof Sets. 10 Dollars Sir Henry Morgan; silver proof 10 Dollars Sir Henry Morgan; matte (copper-nickel) Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25370 Posts	Posted 12/08/2023 1:07 pm You're welcome, 420570. That looks like the 1974 Uncirculated set, not the Proof set. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
