<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbadexample, post: 6227943, member: 100740&quot;]Then I don&#039;t get it. There isn&#039;t any need for a coin that&#039;s not quite a proof but a bit better than BU unless it&#039;s to sell to collectors for profit. It&#039;s nonsense! What shall we have next? A super-proof? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yup. Sorry. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;d be curious to know when the PL korona was first described as &quot;proof-like&quot;? Were there any tickets with the old European collection? How was it described?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;re both business strikes though? Minted in the same way, just differing in the order they came off the press? If this is the case then why doesn&#039;t the term early strike apply in a similar way to LDS or TDS - that&#039;s exactly what you describe here, surely? It lacks consistency.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an issue with the term &quot;proof-like&quot; being used for <i>both</i> these and the modern proof-like coins. The two are poles apart.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do appreciate the difference in the coins you&#039;ve shown, nice examples thank you. I get what you&#039;re saying. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to know where the term &quot;proof-like&quot; was first used to describe these EBS (Early Business Strike <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) coins? I&#039;d have my money on an auction house catalogue somewhere...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
