<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4002055, member: 92655"]I may be speaking out of turn, but seems I remember reading the reason the high relief 1921 Peace dollars were not practical because the high relief required multiple strikes and as a result the dies would deteriorate much too quickly to be practical..... I will say that an early strike proof shield nickel melts my butter. The sharp, defined lines in the shield look like they could carve a steak.... But in my opinion multiple strikes may indeed improve the appearance of a proof. You just wouldn't be able to afford them because the dies would have to be changed so frequently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
