Speaking of which, you never did tell us the grade on those coins. :crying:
Those are flow lines that were not polished out, Different cause, different thing entirely. But they do look similar.
As seen side by side - as I said, no comparison. In the one image the lines stop at the edge of the device, in the other they are clearly on the...
I have to disagree Dick, there's not even any comparison between the two.
Yeah, it has happened here.
Coins that are known for specific strike characteristics, like the O mint Morgans having weak strikes, or the S mint Morgans that were mentioned...
OK, now look closely at those lines. The only reason they exist in that placement is because those portions of the devices are so shallow to begin...
No, it isn't possible. The zinc plate sits in a table that spins the plate at a high rate of speed. The die is held in something like a drill...
Yeah, I did agree that those wer elikely die polish marks. But they are not up on the device, merely to the edge of it.
If you were trying make fakes and pass them off, which do you think you would have an easier time of selling ? Which coin would be looked at the...

Except for a tiny detail - die polishing does not leave marks on the devices - only the fields. Neither do I, except for what I have...
Do you have any idea who the seller is ? Do you have reason to suspect that the seller knows anything at all about coins ? When you see some idiot...
For the most part, yes. Most people don't understand the difference between technical grading and market grading. The 1st and 2nd editions of the...
No idea what PCGS said, but I know what I'd say - Genuine - Altered Surfaces. Unless I miss my guess that coin was whizzed a looooong time ago....
Something like that happens when the coin is in a holder and the holder gets a crack or cut in it. That lets the air get to the coin in just that...
But there are only 6 steps and that center mark breaks two of them, maybe 3.
LOL ! Last time somebody said something like that the coin got submitted. Came back 65 ;)
Glad you've been paying attention ;) But I didn't mention it because he should not use it. As I said, if it is raised up - it's not PVC and...
