<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1241569, member: 112&quot;]Well that&#039;s kind of the thing Chris, Proofs have always been struck more than once. Even the oldest ones like the one I mentioned was struck more than once. Presentation pieces, like the Spanish colonial issues, are not Proofs however. Yes they used special planchets for them, and they were typically struck more than once, but they used the same dies that struck the regular coins with. And no author that I have ever read called them Proofs. But they were special coins, usually only struck for the King/Queen or as gifts from the King/Queen to special foriegn diginitaries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
