<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2735550, member: 84179&quot;]Whenever you’re trying to prove something new in an established field of study, be prepared for a lot of disagreement.&nbsp; This is true whether it’s science, mathematics, or numismatics.&nbsp; Your theory that non-business strike dies were used for business strikes is interesting and may be true.&nbsp; However, you’re going to need incontrovertible proof.&nbsp;&nbsp; Throwing out the theory on CT isn’t a bad idea, but be prepared when it’s challenged.&nbsp; So far, I haven’t seen anything on here that even remotely supports the mint reused special dies, just a lot of opinions and they are like a part the human anatomy; everyone has one (and I think some folks on here have more than one).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Can you find any die markers on the Satin finish coins that match with your business strikes?&nbsp; Can you show some mint correspondence or records that suggest these dies may have been used.&nbsp; Can you get hobby research experts guys like Alexander, Dannreuther, or Wexler (not the wannabes like us) interested?&nbsp; Until then, don&#039;t get agitated if your ideas get slammed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, it’s an interesting idea, but needs a lot more work[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
