[QUOTE="SlipperySocks, post: 3335872, member: 94585"]Please help me understand something. What causes this rougher surface on his dime? Are they; A) "flow lines" from a weak striking process that would have been eliminated if it was fully struck? B) a result of metal flowing from the striking process eventually wearing into the die surface and therefore transferring the texture to coins being struck? Die Wear that can be corrected with polishing? C) Neither (please explain?) [ATTACH=full]883591[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
