[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1950478, member: 41863"]This is my conundrum. Do I want to willfully play ignorant and ignore the hairlines by using a lesser lens, or should I continue to use my lens and try to better understand what I am seeing. Btw, these are not die polish lines to my understanding. They VERY clearly appear at a different surface level to die polish. Also, I can see where all of the polish lines travel in a certain direction and then small spots of hairlined patches are just going wherever. I also can't see how this would be an anomaly from using higher magnification. Something happened to that coin to produce the hairlines that I am seeing, and if these are MS graded coins, what could it be? There's only two real answers to me and both go against what I thought it meant to be an MS coin. Old, light cleanings, which should put these coins in details holders. Or light circulation before the coin was pulled for a collection. Both seem plausible to me, or like I said my magnification is just too high and I'm gonna find flaws in everything but 69s and 70s.[/QUOTE]
