Types of Silver Coins

  • High-Relief: Blanks are struck multiple times to give the silver coin a more 3D look.
  • Proof: Coins are struck at least twice, which gives them a mirrored look on the background with frosted design elements.
  • Reverse Proof: Similar to proofs, except the design elements have a mirrored look while the background is frosted.
  • Ultra High-Relief: A high-relief coin with more elevated images and a higher level of detail.
