Greetings once again to all,

Below is information about the two different versions of the Louis Braille coin that will be available for purchase:

Difference between proof and uncirculated coin: 

The proof coin is double stamped, if not more, and is made from a different blank than the uncirculated version. This means that the proof's image will be sharper, and the coin itself will be shinier. 

If you are purchasing a coin as a collectible item, you will want to purchase the proof. If you are purchasing the coin and intend to remove it from its packaging to feel the Braille, you will want to purchase the uncirculated coin. If you are interested in doing both of these things, you will want to purchase both, as collectible coins lose their value once they have been touched.
