<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 16929, member: 487"]Here are some photos of a 1988-P Lincoln cent that has severe die polishing. A staff member of mine was looking through some coins today and ran across this beauty. It could easily be confused with circulation or cleaning as the lines flow across the coin in a confusing manner. Most graders will tell you that die polish lines run almost north and south usually from 11 O'clock to 5 O'clock. Almost always. </p><p>If you look at the flow lines of this coin, you see that they run every which way. Most run horizonal. Really a neat look at die prep. </p><p>One note: Look at how the lines run under the letters which indicate die prep.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
