<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3076988, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;d readily agree that an over-date is not a flaw because it is intentionally put there and most definitely meant to be there on every coin. A centering dot is a flaw. Yes it is put there intentionally, but it is not intended to stay there ! Yes centering dots are a part of the early die manufacturing process, but one that is supposed to be removed before the die is ever used. So leaving it there, makes it a flaw.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Die polish lines on a coin are absolutely flaws, they are never intended to be visible on a coin. The one and only reason die polish lines appear on a coin is because the die polishing was not completed correctly - the final steps of polishing were skipped. And that is a mistake and that makes them a flaw.</p><p><br /></p><p>Determining what is a flaw and what is not a flaw isn&#039;t hard - it&#039;s just common sense. Claiming that some things are not flaws just because you don&#039;t want them to be - that&#039;s just silly because it ignores all reason and logic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
