Many dies, even most, are used until they can be used no more and never even receive any secondary polishing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Typically die polish lines will only occur when the polishing process is rushed because the dies are needed or steps in the process are skipped. Those skipped steps being the use of the finer grades of diamond dust, the final steps if you will. It is only the courser grades of diamond dust that leave behind the lines we end up seeing on the coins. If the secondary polishing is done correctly and completely, we never see any die polish lines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
