<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2038896, member: 29751&quot;]You mentioned only 2 things in your original post -- die polish and post-mint-damage.&nbsp; You were clearly using the term die polish to mean all forms of die repair.&nbsp; But, now you can change your story and mark this one up to semantics.&nbsp; Whatever Doug. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Why didn&#039;t you state in your original post then that lines that are raised <i><b>can indeed criss-cross </b></i>if some of them are from other forms of die repair?&nbsp; I guess that slipped your mind, eh?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Roger has directly replied on the NGC forums and stated that he has no problem with the term &quot;die polishing&quot; being used (and it continues to be used by numismatists) as a synonym for all forms of die repair at the mint resulting in raised lines on a coins surface (incuse lines on a die).&nbsp; And for the record, he states that the mint strictly only used the term <b>polishing </b><i><b>&quot;to refer only to deliberate production of mirror-like surfaces&quot;.</b></i></p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p><i><b></b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
