<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2866116, member: 1892"]The question which comes to mind for me is, were these being manufactured to order, such that they could strike as few as (say) 500, and then find and correct the mistake yet have already lost the bulk of them into buyer's hands? Or did they deliberately release them? Or is 500-ish a typical die life for a modern Proof? 3.3 million were minted; it's hard to imagine planning that many dies just for the Proof issue. Genuine question, with no (well, very little) snark intended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
