<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 7809718, member: 78719&quot;]I too have polished as a kid many copper nickel, copper and silver coins - thankfully not any of value. Also, I am quite used to specimen PL vs. matte, etc. from the Franklin Mint which cued me in a bit. This IMO does not appear like the polishing that I did on a &quot;gross&quot; sense, but also do not see polishing lines and the lettering is preserved - in order to get that effect, or lack thereof, there would be a halo effect around the lettering. </p><p>Not to confuse but there is none of that. Also, planchet prep is an interesting phenom in that there can be some real roughness to the flans even when lightly polished PRE-STRIKE &amp; not all of the roughness is struck out...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
