Today's video is intended for beginners in numismatics. For some coins, the description may include the note „Proof“ or „Polished plate“ (PP). Since these coins are generally more expensive than other coins, beginners often wonder „what's the catch“ and why such a coin is more expensive than an UNC one. Proof coins are struck using a special minting technique that produces a high shine and a „mirror effect.“ In this video, you can see what Proof coins are and what the difference is between them and coins struck in the standard minting technique.
This video was recorded in April 2023 and was created for documentary and educational purposes.
