That was what I was saying, you are really asking different questions and each of them has a different answer.
Gentlemen - I am going to make a suggestion, a rather simple one. That is that the two of settle this someplace else besides in public. It is...
That's really 2 different questions for if a slabbed coin is resubmitted for grading, and it is re-graded - then it is no longer in the original...

$2.50 - $3 tops. And yeah, they were made out of real gold - sometimes.

My guess - die chips in both cases.
I mean that sometimes the devices on a die are polished - not just the fields. I do agree that die polish lines in the fields of a coin do stop at...

I understand your point but that's not always true.
They keep right on using them until the dies are retired for the usual reasons.
In many cases yes, but in this one it is quite unusual to find a sharply struck '21 Peace dollar. Nearly all of them were weakly struck and have...
Yes, some of those appear to be die polishing marks as well. The majority of them though I think would be attributed to die deterioration.
