<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 50814, member: 66&quot;]Speedy is correct, it is from an over polished die.&nbsp; That area where the leg joins the body is lower in relief than the leg itself or the body.&nbsp; This indicated a higher area in the die, but still lower than that of the field.&nbsp; When the die is polished the field is ground down.&nbsp; Eventually the field reaches the same height as that of the &quot;ridge&quot; in the die that creates the depression on the coin where the leg joins the body.&nbsp; As the die is further ground the field on either&nbsp; side of the leg become joined by that &quot;ridge&quot; and the leg is then seperated from the body.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also loks like in the area where the head joins the body,&nbsp; some of the low relief areas there are also at the same levl as the field and flat mirror finish spots are showing up there as well.&nbsp; (On an early state die the entire buffalo should be frosted with no mirror shiny spots along the neck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
