Any thoughts or opinions or knowledge that I seem to be missing is greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/18/2020 9:24 pm Why does it come off with polishing? Because on the die, it is raised to make it incuse on the coin. So when a lot of polishing happens, these devices are removed from the die. (removed on the die, makes it missing on the coins struck with that die) No premium for this. It is a die event, not a die variety. Report this Post to the Staff
