<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sturmgrenadier, post: 777958, member: 18711&quot;]On the reverse of this Lynchburg half dollar that I recently bought, there is a patch of vertically-running die polish lines located underneath Lady Liberty&#039;s outstretched arm and above the &#039;E PLURIBUS UNUM&#039; My questions are as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) how do die polish lines affect the eye appeal of a coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>2) how can die polish lines affect a coin&#039;s grade?</p><p><br /></p><p>2) do you think the die polish marks make this coin less attractive?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>It&#039;s my coin, so I&#039;m biased, of course, but I still find it to be a fairly attractive coin with its nice satiny lustre and original surfaces).Maybe others are drawn to the tell tale patch of die polish lines that stick out because they have a different color, though? Thanks for your answers/opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy291/rel_1973/LYNCHBURGREV-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy291/rel_1973/LYNCHBURGOBV-1-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
