 [What is Proof Coin?]

 This coin is a "Proof Coin," and unlike regular circulating coins, it is a special coin produced for the purpose of appreciation and collection. Proof coins have an extremely beautiful contrast between the mirror-finished mirror background and the frosted-finished relief, and are as valuable to collectors as jewels.

 **PF68 (Proof 68)** is a proof of a very high grade, with almost no imperfections visible to the naked eye. This is an extremely rare and valuable rank, accounting for approximately the top 2-3% of all proof coins.
