[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1801965, member: 41863"]But you can see where I was coming from and ended up confused about this right? Also, what did you make of the Medal Department being the makers of Proof coins? Bowers said that they had been doing the Proofs for years, is this factual as well? One other thing, is there any way that you can start off with polished devices like Bowers claims and somehow in the run end up with cameo coins, or does that only work in reverse. For instance, is it possible to start with cameos early in the run and then fade out to polished Proofs near the end of the run? As for the cameo coins you found, do you believe they all could have been the result of manipulation that simulated the cameo effect like you described in your first response? I hate dragging this out, but I am really trying to get to the bottom of this and understand the process and history a little better. Maybe we need an 'Ask Me Anything' up here with Bowers, id sure like to hear his discussion on this with evolving theories since there is so much evidence pointing in both directions.[/QUOTE]
