motorbikez got a reaction from KeithSilver in Coin definitions as per Perth Mint & others
Here are Perth Mint's definition of Proofs Bu's and Specimen coins,I've added a few coins to hopefully clarify things,the proofs are all on the left of the photos
Proof Coin
The very highest quality collectable coin produced by The Perth Mint. Featuring a proof finish comprising a highly-polished table with frosted and/or coloured design elements.
Bullion Coin
A mass produced coin primarily aimed at precious metal investors. Finished with shiny design elements on a frosted table.
Specimen Coin
A collectable coin akin to a bullion coin with a frosted table, but also featuring one or more special numismatic treatments, including colour, gilding, antiquing, or the insertion of gems.
2oz lunar 2 snake proof and BU
Same coins showing obverse
1oz Lunar 2 mouse proof and Bu
Same coins showing obverse
1/2 oz lunar 1 rabbit proof and Bu
Same coins showing obverse
RAM's interpretations of proof and Bu,s also known as UNC/uncirculated.
Proof
A carefully struck coin using special dies with either a mirror‑like or matt finish. These coins are especially struck and the term is not used to describe a well‑preserved circulating coin. Proof is a method of manufacture, not a condition or grade.
Uncirculated (UNC)
Uncirculated coins are manufactured in much the same way as circulated coins except for the following:
More attention and time is given to the preparation of the die surface finish, The coins are struck with greater pressure than the circulating coins to improve the sharpness of the design. More care and attention is applied at each step in the coining process to minimise damage, consequently a much lower production rate of about 30,000 coins per press per day is achieved. Uncirculated coins are packaged individually into plastic sleeves, presentation folders or occasionally presentation cases.

Same coins obverse
I hope this helps clarify things.

Managed to buy this beautiful 1918 India sovereign from @Marc. A very pleasant transaction and coin convo.
This goes with my 2018 India sov to complete my 100 year old bombay mint pairing!

Just bought the 2004 and 2005 sovereigns on Australian eBay. They seem to be "haze" on their surface and so will send them to be conserved and graded. I bought a 1985 1/2 sovereign from the same seller about a year ok and it had the same condition issue but came out great after a bit of PCGS TLC.

Another duo of pocket money priced eBay Silver Proof £1 pickups. And thank you @Marc for the efforts you put in to ship all the way from Japan, the accompanying original box of the 1966 Rhodesian Ten Shillings coin- very much appreciated.

BU and Proof versions of the latest (5th) in the 2 oz Destiny Knight Series. Have always been able to get them from APMEX in the past as they were released, but had to order directly from the issuing company this time. Also picked up a few odd silver ounces that I didn't have examples of. 2018 and 2019 Elephants, 2018 Bird of Paradise and 2019 Swan.
