But seriously when I first heard about the 2006 Reverse Proof Eagles the Mint was coming out with, that's what I thought it was - a proof only on the reverse.
Anyone e-mail the seller yet with the mistake?

Yeah they could actually do something like that, plus an obverse proof too. The blanks would have to be hand fed so of course there could be errors.
For sure.

I think back in the 1800s it happened that a reverse die that was used for proofs was then used for circulation strikes and paired with a regular business strikes obverse die, effectively creating a true reverse proof or proof reverse (though the proof characteristics were practically lost on the reverse die since the features were exhausted while coining the proofs first). I'm thinking I read it in Larry Briggs's review over the Seated Quarter series that was featured on the last 3 Monthly CDNs.
