<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2514222, member: 112&quot;]Then rather obviously the long accepted definition of a Proof gets thrown out the window. And once that happens, then also rather obviously, deciding if a coin is a Proof, or not, suddenly becomes arbitrary and dependent upon the person who is doing the deciding. </p><p><br /></p><p>Which was precisely the point of the other half of my post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which brings us back to the OP&#039;s post. So how exactly then does one know if a Proof is a Proof ? You ask two different experts, and each contradicts the other; or you ask 10 and it&#039;s 6 to 4, or whatever. The point being if there is no agreement then you don&#039;t <u>know</u>.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why established and accepted definitions are so important to this hobby. Can there be exceptions to the rule once those definitions are accepted ? I would have to say yes, but only when there is sufficient documentation and evidence to support those exceptions, And if there isn&#039;t, or even if it is questionable, then there is no exception.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
