I guess you judge proof coins by rust and such on silver coins.

You beat me to it!

But seriously, get a book on grading. At that grade, regardless of strike and eye appeal, one or two marks in a critical area can be the difference. Proof like is just that! An UNC that looks like it's a proof.

Sometimes it's difficult to see and I'll bet most graders can not quantify or qualify how they know. You have to look at hundreds, if not thousands of coins to develop your eye; no matter how many books you own.

So let me see if I have this right.
The more rust in a silver coin the higher the grade.

I did not know that.
