<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1206764, member: 66&quot;]Yes it is very common.&nbsp; If you specifically look for it on your coins you will find a lot of examples.&nbsp;&nbsp; Overpolishing isn&#039;t really an error, it is just a later state of a normal die.&nbsp; It is only an &quot;error&quot; in the sense the pressman made an error in continuing to use the die rather than retiring it.&nbsp; Dies would sometimes be polished in order to remove clash marks, or sometimes to extend the life of a die by polishing off excessive or heavy die flow lines.&nbsp; The polishing lowers the field and if it is lowered enough it polishes away the highest points of the devices in the die.&nbsp; Those high points form the shallowest areas of the design such as the portions of the ponytail missing on your coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
