🌟 What does Proof-Like mean?Updated 17 days ago

Proof coins are the pinnacle of minting quality — the highest standard a coin can be struck to. They’re designed for collectors who want the very best finish possible 🖤.

Each coin is struck using specially prepared dies that are polished to a mirror‑like shine. The blanks are handled with extreme care (often by hand with gloves) and struck at least twice to bring out every tiny detail in ultra‑sharp definition.

The result? A beautiful contrast between the highly polished mirror fields (the flat areas) and the frosted raised designs — a finish known as “cameo” in the coin world.

Proof coins are usually made in precious metals such as gold or silver, though base metal Proofs are also popular. They often come in protective capsules and presentation cases, complete with a Certificate of Authenticity.

💡 Collector’s tip: Proof coins are struck in very limited quantities, making them ideal for serious collectors or as heirloom gifts. Handle them with care — even the tiniest mark can affect their value.
