<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2540724, member: 1892&quot;]I&#039;d find the &quot;clash polishing&quot; explanation a lot more believable if there were anything from the reverse which could clash in that area of the date. <i>There is not</i>. One could posit a die rotation which would bring the center bar of the E in ONE into play, but in that case the lower bar of the E would also clash in a manner requiring the whole date to be polished away to remove it.</p><p><br /></p><p>What, exactly, was being &quot;polished away,&quot; and how did the person doing the polishing manage to limit the damage - don&#039;t forget, the last 2 in the date of a Die #2 Strong Reverse is complete - to an area approximately two millimeters wide? Only the first 2 in the date is even weakened....I can&#039;t buy this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sorry, but the &quot;conventional wisdom&quot; simply <b>has</b> to be questioned here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
