DEF

A prooflike coin which exhibits a subdued, gray lustre. Although reflective, such a coin will not evidence the full brilliance of a cameo or brilliant prooflike coin. Not to be confused with impaired or dull prooflike pieces. Because of their subdued lustre, gray brilliant prooflikes are not as desirable as cameo or brilliant prooflikes.
