<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2371055, member: 112&quot;]Every die that&#039;s ever had rust, grease, water, or just plain old dirt, wiped and cleaned off of it - has been harshly cleaned. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do they refer to it as that in books and articles on coins ? No, I can&#039;t say that I&#039;ve ever seen the term used in reference to dies either. But all of those things being on dies are talked about time and time again. And if those things get on a die they are cleaned off, they do not just leave them there. And when they are cleaned off, then the die has been harshly cleaned. </p><p><br /></p><p>A term that you have seen referenced many, many, times is die scratches. And there are many ways that a die can end up being scratched. A harsh cleaning of that die is only one of them. And using a rag, or a brush, or anything else,&nbsp; to clean anything off a die - is harshly cleaning that die, just like it would be were it a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
