<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 7898110, member: 73995&quot;][USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] why would these polish lines be on one coin and none of the others.</p><p>Aren&#039;t patterns a small mintage?</p><p>This is the description from Heritage.

The reverse is similar to the regular dies design but adds the motto GOD OUR TRUST on a scroll above the eagle. Low date, bulging bun Pollock subvariety. Struck in copper with a reeded edge and gilt. Only a dozen or so pieces are known of the Low Date variant. This piece has nicely mellowed with the obverse displaying just a trace of the underlying original red still. The reverse is interesting because of the heavy diagonal die striations and nearly uniform blue patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am having a hard time with is a dozen or so pieces struck. Why would only one show the die polishing? Did they polish the dies for only one strike at the end or was it the first? The polishing lines just don&#039;t make much sense to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
