Could be as simple as skipping the squaring of the die rims, I suppose.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When proof dies are then used for business strikes, it seems probable that the die edge would not be altered.&nbsp; If this is true, then early business strikes from proof dies would have squared edges.&nbsp; Which is what would allow questionable sellers to pass off a worn proof as a high grade MS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
