<p>[QUOTE=&quot;George Corell, post: 2042412, member: 72869&quot;]You make my point, exactly.&nbsp; But for some reason we seem to have trouble with the idea that Taylor&#039;s recollections might be in error.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have already spoken with NGC on this.&nbsp; Though the gentleman who did the writeup on this tends to agree with me, the official writeup had already been done and sent off for approval to the dealer involved in the sale.&nbsp; The designation of proof in the grade was less than unanimous but went forward anyway, fully aware that the coin was not a true proof.&nbsp; It is based on Bonanno&#039; s recollection that the coin was double struck even though it is known he was not present when the coins were struck!&nbsp; He assumed they were because of the high relief status. I wrote in Coinworld some years ago that the high relief concerns had little to do with die fill, but rather with relief angles.&nbsp; Patterson was not a diemaker, he was a plate engraver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to attend FUN.&nbsp; But at my age and with my health restrictions on travel I find that show a bit to taxing to attend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
