War Nickel Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 10:17 pm Wild Guess: MS-60; would have given it MS-63 but the bag mark on the Lincoln Memorial column was very obvious to me...trying to grade without looking at a book, so forgive me if I missed wear. Nice Coin! By the way, what is die polishing? I mean, what does it look like on this coin; is the very very smooth open fields? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 05:12 am That is some major die polishing going on there. Also a nice but mild die clash on the obverse too. Nice find. I would put it in a 2x2 holder. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
pman860507 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 1:01 pm Nice coin. MS63RD I see the clash behind Abes neck. I'm not sure if the Reverse is a DDR or if its DD, could just be the pictures. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
bournepiper Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 1:19 pm How does the die polishing affect the grading on coins? I have alot of nice coins with severe die polishing as well. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

dgleich Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 6:18 pm So is that heavy die polish only seen on very strong strikes? This reverse seems almost like a proof strike compared to the mushy details on mid sixties coins. It has to be struck with a newly polished die before wear... is that correct? Then there is die pressure to consider as well? Report this Post to the Staff
