<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1029283, member: 15309&quot;]Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>With all due respect you also explained that die polish lines can&#039;t go in different directions but we have seen evidence to the contrary.&nbsp; At this point, it seems logical to conclude that the mint used some other method in addition to the zinc plates when polishing dies.&nbsp; Based on the visual evidence, that method was most likely a hand held method capable of reaching the recessed devices of the dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>If those raised lines of Jeff&#039;s coat are not die polish lines, then what are they?&nbsp; If they are not raised lines, there is no way PCGS would assign the lofty grade of MS66 to that coin.&nbsp; The grade is evidence that PCGS believes that the lines were a result of a mint process and not PMD.&nbsp; To my knowledge, the only mint process that causes lines like that is die polishing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
