With respect to the barrel BUG proofs, even on untouched original specimens the proofs are very shallow. I have a near mint '02 and FGS (Doug Smith) had one in the same condition a little over a year ago and the depth of the barrel proofs were almost identically shallow. For some reason DWM applied them with a light hand.
Really looking forward to the finished result photos.
