Never heard that term, so I looked it up:
PROOF COIL, known also as Common Coil chain, is the standard
commercial quality regularly stocked by hardware and industrial
supply houses. It is a general purpose chain for pulling or
restraining applications requiring neither a maximum of tensile nor
impact strength. It is commonly used for log chains and towing.
So I guess it really isn't anything special. I think the most
important thing is to make sure that the chain is rated for well more
than the intended load.
