coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 11:41 am Die polishing to cover clashes that are too deep remove edges of devices. This happens if the die has under gone multiple clashes. That area is a targer area for both the wheat and Memorial reverses. Edited by coop 01/13/2012 11:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 3:47 pm Abraded die and polished die is the same thing. I prefer using "abraded die" because polished die sounds like something the mint does to make a proof die and abraded die sounds like what the mint does to "fix" a die clash on a die.IMHO, John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 7:46 pm Dies are polished to remove clash marks in the fields. The fields being the outside face of the die allows this to remove unwanted clash lines. Devices are sunk into the die material which is a negative to strike up a positive coin.
