<p>[QUOTE="jfoot13, post: 415650, member: 5553"]I've been studying these proofs for a couple months.. I have about a dozen of them now and have noticed some have horrific strikes with hardly any steps and weak strikes. I have one from PCGS, NGC both graded PF66. I have noticed the same diagnostics on both. Could this be an inferior die? maybe a business strike die was used for proofs? any thoughts? </p><p><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj56/jfoot13/bst%200723/oo1jpg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj56/jfoot13/bst%200723/oo2jpg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj56/jfoot13/bst%200723/oo3jpg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS</p><p><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj56/jfoot13/bst%200723/005jpg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj56/jfoot13/bst%200723/006jpg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj56/jfoot13/bst%200723/oo4jpg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>notice the bumps and die scratches above the window[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
