<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 266150, member: 66&quot;]The article is a month and a half old and probably uses data two months or more old.&nbsp; When dd the business strikes with textured edges first appear?&nbsp; Before or after that time?&nbsp; If after then it simply means that changes have been made to how they do the edges.&nbsp; And since as far as I know the textured edge only appears on Adams dollars this would make sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>The article does say that the business strike edge dies are smooth ground and do not impart a finish, but is that still true today?&nbsp; Also the edge dies themselves probably are NOT smooth ground, but the hubs used to create the dies probably are.&nbsp; (Think about it.&nbsp; The dies have raised letters down in a channel.&nbsp; How the heck are you going to grind the surface down in that channel and get up close all the way up to the letters?&nbsp; But on the hub that makes it the letters are incuse and the field is exposed and easy to polish. So you polish the hub an that results in a smooth finish on the die face as well.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
