coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/22/2018 12:45 pm Die polishing reduces the fields. Why do they polish? To remove clash lines. When this happens several times, then the fields and sub field devices are affected. That is what has happen to the die before your coin was struck. Report this Post to the Staff

MeowtheKitty Valued Member 353 Posts	Posted 07/22/2018 9:54 pm Oh Meow did not know that. Well Meow suggests we call all Feline discovered nickel varieties MTKs. Of course MTK would be an abbreviation for MeowtheKitty. Report this Post to the Staff
