<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1039246, member: 6036&quot;]This points out why coins like this are so instructive and educational.

It&#039;s possible there are none - the Mint didn&#039;t basin these dies, and they are routinely poorly struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know if the Mint used the same dies for these few proofs <i>and </i>the business strikes, or were the proof dies used only for proofs ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
