I think the reverse proofs are the nicest looking coins.

Re: Reverse Proof

You can get reverse frosting on uncirculated as well as proof coins.
A good example is the 2006 Kangaroo
The uncirculated coin has a 'reverse frosting' finish where the field is frosted to contrast with the highly polished raised design.

The proof version of the one ounce silver skippy dollar coin has frosted designs with mirror fields
