<p>[QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 4016925, member: 73321"]I would disagree, there are no radial lines. The die overall looks sharp and consistent. The texture is not via the die, but the copper plating losing its grip on the inner zinc core. My example is very mild, severe orange peel is where the plating has many "bubbles", again not from the die itself. I suspect that the "bubbles" or texture occurs AFTER the striking of the hammer. This is my opinion, I claim it.</p><p>Gary in Washington[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
