Thanks for checking it out, everybody! I have seen much more extreme polishing "lines" on many coins but never the severity of depth on the bay areas as this.

Aye, Column #4 has been chewed by beavers, ie; over-polished greatly
Tacc, think just for a second. Did the column get over polished or the bay?

I'll answer that, the bays are the highest part on the Die. So it got polished not the column because it is incuse on the Die.

I see what you're saying! ..so they would certainly avoid the columns (best they can) when polishing out a die clash.
That's really interesting.

Thanks, guys! I just thought it was unusual. You get a cookie the next time you're in the area, John!

Rats, I'm too late to get a cookie

I like the heavy polishing though.

You can still have one, that's a pretty far jaunt for you too though, I think Dearborn is in Arizona, a bit further.

Not sure about a cookie but go through this thread and see if there is anything you would like. If I still have it, email me and I'll send it to you. Maybe give me two or three picks, just in case.
