jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 01:03 am Hello all, been awhile but need help with this one. Wondering if this maybe a new variety or mint error. In between the first and second bow loops, the space looks mirrored and not frosted. I looked at other proofs and that area is frosted. Thank you for the help. Edward M.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 11:51 am That area is just about at the same level as the field. It may have missed being frosted, or another possibility is that a polishing removed the frost in that area. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 12:56 pm If it is the same height as the field, it should be missing the cameo. Dies were frosted and then polished the fields. They should look like that. That is normal. Edited by coop 02/04/2012 2:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 2:18 pm Hello all, the other proofs I have show this area frosted. They look like the 2nd bow loop space next to the hair. Report this Post to the Staff
jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 8:30 pm Hello all, so what is normal on proofs frosted or mirrored in that area. I have silver and ms proofs and those are frosted. Thank you for the help. Report this Post to the Staff
