<p>[QUOTE="Jim Johns, post: 2524473, member: 78172"]I still don't understand how it came to an SMS topic anyways considering my original question had nothing to do with them. They're just very nice, well struck coins to me and they don't look anything like any 60's Proofs I have seen, but the devices are heavily polished and like I said, in hand, look like a modern reverse proof. I was just wondering if anybody had insight as to why or how that would happen. They're clearly well struck and detailed so I can't see why they would have polished the dies in such a way before they were ever even worn out. Who knows...if anybody stays interested I will try to get some better pictures to explain what I mean but the fields are not polished like the devices and they have a cartwheel that's not on the average proof. Maybe they're patterns to test Reverse Proof Design lol...Don't go getting mad anybody that was a joke![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
