ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 12:40 pm This appears to be the result of harsh die polishing, most likely to remove a strong die clash. Richard Report this Post to the Staff

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 12:49 pm If the reverse die was polished harshly, how come the marks are not visible on the raised portions of the reverse? It looks like the minting was done over the marks . Curiosity has set in for me. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 12:50 pm What is the high point on the coin is the low point on the die and onlu the face of the die gets polished. This is why a die clash appears to go behind the details as well. Richard Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/25/2009 2:29 pm I was going for the lighter area for the fields and the darker area for the devices. But between editing and editing, somehow I made a DDR. Hey if the mint can do why can't I? Here is the Obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
