<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2439284, member: 1892&quot;]If they were die polishing they wouldn&#039;t stop short of the devices; they&#039;d reach the edge and indeed in many cases be heaviest right at the edge. Devices are negatives on the die, and there&#039;s nothing to stop a polishing tool.</p><p><br /></p><p>Particularly on the reverse, you can see many places where some of the lines &quot;skip&quot; the devices, telling me those lines at least were post strike in origin. Some of the lines have the regularity of polishing - consistently parallel and relatively even - but many are haphazard.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC has held this coin in hand; we haven&#039;t. I&#039;m guessing they decided it was a combination of polishing and poor handling which did not rise to the level of &quot;damage.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
