<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1091467, member: 112&quot;]If all lines are raised as you say then I have no idea what caused them, but they are most definitely not die polish lines. As I have explained many times, die polish lines cannot be on the devices because of the manner in which dies are polished. But there is more even beyond that with this coin. Look at the rim, it has the very same lines as the rest of the coin - and the rim is not even formed by the die, but by the collar !</p><p><br /></p><p>Have to admit the coin has me completely puzzled ???</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - have to admit I mispoke above. The coin has me so puzzled that I&#039;m not thinking straight. The rim is formed by the die. But it is formed by the die&#039;s shoulder which is at an entirely different level than the face of the die. It is recessed farther up the shaft than the rest of the die. So again, die polishing could not make the lines.</p><p><br /></p><p>About the only thing I can think of to explain this is that whatever caused these lines on this coin, it happened post strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
