<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 509583, member: 112&quot;]Yeah, a strike-through. I thought of that.

The orange peel pattern proves the die was worn out, thus it would need polishing. That much is pretty much indisputable. The only real question comes from what could produce the raised parallel pattern on one side of the coin and the crosshatched pattern, combined with the orange peel pattern on the other side.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only logical explanation to me is that 1 die was polished all in the same ditrection and the other die was polished from 2 directions at 90 degrees to each other. &#039;Course I can&#039;t say definitively that is the case.
