<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 2053601, member: 7638&quot;]Absolutely incorrect.&nbsp; Contradicted by Tomaska&#039;s carefully researched book as correctly cited by physicsfan and others.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Were Proof dies ever polished before and during this period ? Absolutely, but typically only to remove clash marks, and even then it was not always done. The Bugs Bunny Franklin is an example of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you want evidence of this ? Buy a book, several of them, for that is where you are going to find it.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Also contradicted by Tomaska.&nbsp; Several of us have bought the book, and read it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t understand why it is so hard to admit to being factually wrong. Incorrect statements of &quot;fact&quot; can be misleading to new collectors, and have a way of self propagating.&nbsp; Reminds me of a saying we used to have about some surgeons, while I was in training:&nbsp; &quot;Sometimes wrong, but never in doubt.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
