<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2040188, member: 15309&quot;]And therein lies the real problem.&nbsp; We had this same argument about the semantics related to die polishing on this forum 4 years ago.&nbsp; And while under Doug&#039;s definition of die polishing, he is correct that the lines don&#039;t criss cross, you have correctly pointed out that he is basically the only one in the entire hobby using such a rigid definition of what constitutes die polishing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, he does not recognize that his forum post count, longevity, moderator status, and dogmatic personality have the effect of intimidating inexperienced collectors into believing everything he writes as &quot;numismatic gospel.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>And people wonder why I argue with him all the time.&nbsp; It is to get to the bottom of situations just like this one.&nbsp; A newbie who read &quot;die polish lines never criss cross&quot; is at a disadvantage.&nbsp; A newbie who read this thread and the one from 4 years ago will not suffer that same disadvantage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
