    Bad as usual date on this one; I posted it in my FB Group and a friend and senior Numismatist responded:

    Images of a business strike and proof as follows:

    Cool to know people such as many Members here with that level of knowledge!

    Best, Jack.

    Interesting to know. I wonder if it’s same on other dates. Or whether the proof 1844 dies were ever reused to strike a business strike as so often done. Especially as very few proofs were struck in 1844
