I say that because we are never supposed to be able to see die polish lines on coins. And the only time we do see them on any coin it&#039;s because a shortcut was taken and the final steps, (the ones where the fine and ultra fine diamond dust that remove any and all visible lines) in the process of polishing the dies was skipped. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the likelihood of that happening with patterns and test strikes is somewhat high because they don&#039;t really care too much about quality when striking them - the primary purpose is merely to see how the design strikes up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
