<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 4879883, member: 7638&quot;]Die polish marks in the fields.&nbsp; I don&#039;t like the term &quot;die polish&quot; as polish suggests a mirror like surface, prepared with care.&nbsp; Something like &quot;die repair marks&quot; makes more sense, as the mint workers used abrasives on sticks to rub off damage or rust or whatever on the dies, under the pressure of production demands. This was done hastily to get the dies back into use. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The cheek marks look like &quot;roller&quot; or &quot;drawing bench&quot; marks as noted above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
