<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheFinn, post: 3976218, member: 90102&quot;]When the die is scratched, it will create troughs in the surface.&nbsp; The edges of the troughs will be raised, like berms on a dyke.&nbsp; These would look indented on the coin.&nbsp; You cannot have just the indentations on a coin without the raised marks from the scratches on the die.&nbsp; I have a 1916 Barber Quarter with severe die polishing on obverse and reverse.&nbsp; It impairs the luster, but the coin is graded MS63 by PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
