Hi, I have a 1986 Commonwealth Games silver £2 coin. It's in a plastic case and in a plastic capsule, but it does not have a frosted finish that I usually associate with a proof coin. The certificate says Proof £2 coins were .925 silver, and an uncirculated coin was .500 silver. I was just wondering how you would tell which would be which?
Thanks
