<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2316551, member: 69760&quot;]So it&#039;s simply the inherent quality of the newly finished die, without any treatment to the die&#039;s device areas? And, subsequent strikes will cause the surface of the die&#039;s devices to &quot;wear&quot; and consequently cause less and less frostiness to transfer onto the coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>If that&#039;s the case, it seems incredible that such frostiness can come about, from raw metal die to raw metal planchet. Unless you mean that&#039;s how the finished dies come out - with whatever finishing treatment they&#039;re given that causes that frostiness, prior to polishing the die&#039;s fields.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
