[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2315572, member: 1892"]They're wrong by implying that every_single Business Strike die was polished so poorly that it shows polishing lines.

What do they do then - do they repolish it, or retire it? What kind of fields will the first 5 Business strikes from an untouched Proof die (one which struck Proofs earlier that day) look like? I'll tell you what they'll look like - Proofs. Except for the differences that article doesn't mention.[/QUOTE]
