It looks like it's in good shape otherwise it was in a holder with others I just cracked it open to actually see it. Also the scratches in states between the an and t in states. They run under the lettering, is this just an old die or could this have been done after. Also yellowish toning. I'll try to get better pictures as these are from my phone, any feedback would be helpful, thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Dutch-Tigger Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 8:53 pm Absolutely Die Polishing Scratches, as you stated they seem to go "Behind" Letters and other design features, this is because the polishing wires tend not to enter the cavities of the design. This will give the impression the lines are in the background of the design or the numbers and letters . Greetings by the way. Edited by Dutch-Tigger 06/21/2023 9:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 9:04 pm Thanks I wasn't sure parts of the steps look gouged out as well I thought it was damaged but it has full steps just not in one spot. Some areas look like PMD but others are out of place like it was broken off the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8743 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 10:40 pm It could be die abrasions, not polishing, polishing is typically what is done to get rid of die abrasions. This actually has the typical look and direction of Feeder Finger Damage and I would lean in that direction.

I may have misspoke on this point but have always thought it odd that these two words (abrading/polishing), were synonymous. In my mind, one is more of a grinding and the other to smooth it over. Regardless, I still feel like the OP's coin shows Feeder Finger Damage. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
