<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 18450690, member: 104064&quot;]Hopefully you&#039;re not sick of this thread. Perhaps someone will find it useful later. Here&#039;s the 1947 50c Maple Leaf, curved right 7, SP62 now, previously UNC - Cleaned (PCGS). Supposedly only around 200 of this variety were struck in both specimen and MS. Before and after images. Note the squiggle next to ET and the various other &quot;pits&quot; in the fields. I was convinced these were all strike-through remnants from polishing the die, and had examined them under a microscope. The one near ET even had a retained bit of bristle, which I assumed was embedded in the coin. As you can see, these things are now <i>gone</i>. I couldn&#039;t tell that there was lacquer on the coin. How did ANACS remove it? Now I&#039;m curious why it only got a 62, but that&#039;s a subject for another time. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1537548[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1537549[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
