[I][COLOR=#b30000]What you are saying makes sense.[/COLOR] However, I think this is the answer to your question: Since Proofs are graded chiefly by spots and hairlines (which may not be considered as "problems" on proofs) that is probably the reason they are not detailed when those imperfections are present. [B] It would be like "detailing" an MS coin for bagmarks, weak strike, an low luster.[/B][/I][/QUOTE]
