<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1801963, member: 112&quot;]Well, I would usually not be one to contradict or doubt anything Bowers had to say about coins but I did a little more checking just to satisfy myself. So let me put it this way, anybody who searches the population records or looks at Heritage archives will readily see that there are more than a few Proof Cameos, in all denominations, from 1902 and succeeding years. And with mintage numbers often under 500 and always considerably less than 1000 for that period, I don&#039;t know any other way to say it other than it contradicts what Bowers said in his book.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Proof Mercury dimes from &#039;36-&#039;42, cameo examples of those exist as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me, the coins themselves are the best evidence we can ever have. They speak for themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
