John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 07:40 am Looks more like an over polished die issue than a Greaser. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 09:04 am I'll have to agree with John1 on this. The lettering just stops way to abruptly at the rim Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 11:08 am Probably a strong Grease Fill on the devices. Note how on 'ICA' is showing an enlarging of those devices. Probably a fresh event that happened, and later on relocated on the deeper devices. It would be impossible to totally remove the tops of the devices by die polishing. It would tail off and not be so sharp of an edge. on a polishing. Although they did isolated polishing on one are, not the '9' is a slight bit smaller than the last two digits. Note on Liberty, how the devices get stronger to the left, and the polished devices on the right are reduced. So I feel this is not a die polishing issue. The difference happens to quickly to be a polishing issue. Report this Post to the Staff
