<p>[QUOTE=&quot;deefree, post: 2686823, member: 85263&quot;]One thing I&#039;ve heard told differently is whether or not proof dies were later used for business strikes. I&#039;ve heard &quot;yes&quot;, &quot;no&quot; and even lots of &quot;maybes&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to think they didn&#039;t do it but who knows? It would have saved a few pennies so to speak, so you can see that there could have been some motivation for it. I don&#039;t know that anyone has definitively shown a business strike to have the proper diagnostics of a proof - without a doubt - although I&#039;ve seen some coins in my own collection that had some of the same die lines as a proof - but not all of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else find a business strike with ALL the diagnostic die lines of a proof? The usual find turns out to often be just an EDS strike. I&#039;ve found a handful of those too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
