That was the problem with brilliant proofs. The first coins from the die would have some cameo, how much varied, but the cameo faded and you had...
Yes the mint does like low relief and for the reason you mention. Also because low relief means the metal doesn't have to flow as far to get into...
The surprising thing to me is I have never heard anything about those 2007 proof Jeffersons with the out of sequence edge since they were first...
Electrotypes were also often made back in the 19th century when photography was not as common and much more difficult. The electrotypes would be...
Your right I forgot the nickel series and my count was off for 2009. Thanks for the correction, but I think I still made my point. It has been...

What a joke auction company. Apparently geared toward people who don't know what things are worth. They make a big deal over the "rare" 1850...
