Unlikeother coins, proof coins arestruck two or more times by the coin die. Bystriking it more than once the metal is forced into all the crevices of thedie, thereby giving a very fine detail to the image on the coin. Also, bytreating the die in a special way, the coins it produces have a differentappearance. Modern technology allows the high points on the coin design to beacid treated (on the die). The background design of the coin die is polished,resulting in a mirror-like look on the coin it strikes. This gives the finishedcoin a frosted look on the raised parts of the design, with a mirror likefinish on the background. The fine detail and appearance of this heirloom proofcoin is breathtaking.
