<p>[QUOTE="Artillery87, post: 8568514, member: 137755"]I recently got this 1946-S quarter that is nicely toned and uncirculated. When I took a closer look I noticed there is heavy horizontal lines in the fields on the obverse. At first I thought maybe it had been scratched while being cleaned but under magnification it appears that they are raised and only in the fields. I know die polishing lines are common on proofs but I haven't seen any as extreme as this on business strikes... I looked on PCGS coin facts at some other 1946-S examples and saw a couple that look as if they may have some as well but mine seem to be quite extreme. Any thoughts on what I am seeing is truly from die polishing and would it be worth sending to get graded? Thanks! Hope everybody is enjoying thier weekend![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
