<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Get Real, post: 2540532, member: 81585&quot;]Lapping in metal works is used to flatten, level or polish a surface which is either done by hand or by machine. When done by hand the micro-scratches would typically be in a circular direction and more than likely the same by a machine. In order to &quot;Polish&quot; anything you would want to have circular motions to keep from have any repeating patterns which would be counterproductive in the objective. On this coin those lines are not due to lapping or polishing. The lines appear to be fairly deep and they are very straight and uniform. This would have been caused by either being pressed into the die or a one time grazing contact with something else.</p><p><br /></p><p>Really Cool Coin Though![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
