There is amazing first-strike die polish all over the place, which greatly adds to the visual appeal and brilliance of this fabulous condition token. It is also incredibly instructive for those of us who are sensitive to human caused hairlines. Here, the polish flashes this way and that as the token is gently rotated by the viewer. Only by close inspection do all the thousands of parallel criss-crossing lines in the fields reveal themselves to be as made, as absolutely none cross over any of the legends or devices. It helps that Cheapside has viewed two other identically surfaced Hampshire 55&#039;s in the past year, which positively confirm the first-strike diagnostics; here the freshest we have seen. Pretty neat!</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
