As these usually come with a COA (Certificate of authenticity). A coin is a proof that has been particularly beaten and never has been distributed (indeed, some proof coins are struck on several occasions to increase the sharpness details on the coin).
Proof coins are usually slabbed (plastic coated) and may come with a certificate of valuation as well.
