<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 3200369, member: 74343&quot;]The fields are flat on a die right? Almost like there is more pressure there. The marks in the fields would disappear during the strike. But the high points, those are the deep points of a die not as much pressure or contact is made on the high points of the devices. Planchet marks will not always get obliterated there. It&#039;s hard to explain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at an uncirculated wheat cent. Lincoln&#039;s shoulder usually has a few marks there. But the fields are free of marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I will admit and agree that this Franklin was in a mint set and some of those scuffs could have been from being in cellophane and rubbing which is common for those sets. But again not visable without magnification.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
