foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 09/12/2008 11:08 pm That is the result of die polishing, Sometimes called die dressing or die abrasion. It is probably due to the reworking of the die after a die clash. Its pretty common. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/13/2008 8:57 pm The real clue of that is the fading die scratches left in the field. Fading means that the die scratches at one time were crisp, but with continued use the scratches in the field flatten/fade in time till they disappear. The damage done to the devices remain flattened. Report this Post to the Staff
