The term proof refers to the method of manufacture, not the condition of the coin. Regular production coins in mint state have coruscating, frosty luster, soft details and minor imperfections. Proof coins can usually be distinguished by their sharpness of detail, high-wire edge and extremely brilliant, mirror-like surface. A proof is a specimen striking of coinage for presentation, souvenir, exhibition or numismatic purposes.
