Hello,
I Love looking at coins, but I don’t know a lot about the different types. I’m happy to join. I’m having trouble Distinguishing proofs from business strikes. Can anyone tell me which these are?

Re: Pennies
These are business strike coins and not proofs, proofs are coins with a special finish and are not often found in circulation. Actually proofs come in proof sets.
Proof coins have a cameo contrast and mirror fields.
