<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2782089, member: 69760&quot;]WOAH, if that&#039;s true, then that proves that the 1893 Columbian halves and Isabella quarters were all technically proof strikes!! I showed documentation some time ago in some other threads, that the 1893 Columbian halves were struck by hand-operated machinery to produce &quot;medallic quality&quot; strikes, and classified at the scene of the Columbian&#039;s strike by eye-witnessing numismatists as <i>distinctly</i> medallions rather than circulation strike coins. Even the Mint Director&#039;s report states that they&#039;re struck as medallion quality!</p><p><br /></p><p>So, wouldn&#039;t that prove once and for all that proofs do exist for the 1893 Columbian halves and Isabella quarters? In fact, <i>all</i> of them were struck with medallic quality! A bit off topic, but this should definitively change PCGS&#039;s position on the matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
